From e38aea3e9330624d19a233c05f3e69c57519edd5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 13:22:48 +0300 Subject: KVM: VMX: Don't switch 64-bit msrs for 32-bit guests Some msrs are only used by x86_64 instructions, and are therefore not needed when the guest is legacy mode. By not bothering to switch them, we reduce vmexit latency by 2400 cycles (from about 8800) when running a 32-bt guest on a 64-bit host.
