From 0a5fff192388d2a74aa9ab5e0d394b745df9f225 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gleb Natapov Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:45:06 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Do not report TPR write to userspace if new value bigger or equal to a previous one. Saves many exits to userspace in a case of IRQ chip in userspace.
