Paolo Bonzini 74a497fae7 KVM: nVMX: track dirty state of non-shadowed VMCS fields
VMCS12 fields that are not handled through shadow VMCS are rarely
written, and thus they are also almost constant in the vmcs02.  We can
thus optimize prepare_vmcs02 by skipping all the work for non-shadowed
fields in the common case.

This patch introduces the (pretty simple) tracking infrastructure; the
next patches will move work to prepare_vmcs02_full and save a few hundred
clock cycles per VMRESUME on a Haswell Xeon E5 system:

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
