From 6226686954c4cce3d63ffe1777e60360fcbf0b83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Avi Kivity Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:15:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86 emulator: prefetch up to 15 bytes of the instruction executed Instead of fetching one byte at a time, prefetch 15 bytes (or until the next page boundary) to avoid guest page table walks.
