If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paolo Bonzini commit 946fbbc13dce68902f64515b610eeb2a6c3d7a64 upstream. vmx_vcpu_run() and svm_vcpu_run() are large functions, and giving branch hints to the compiler can actually make a substantial cycle difference by keeping the fast path contiguous in memory. With this optimization, the retpoline-guest/retpoline-host case is about 50 cycles faster.
