Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: nVMX: Refactor IBPB handling on VMCS switch to genericize code
Date: Wed,  6 May 2020 16:58:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200506235850.22600-2-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200506235850.22600-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>

Refactor the IPBP handling to effectively move the WARN and comment in
vmx_switch_vmcs() to vmx_vcpu_load_vmcs().  A future patch will give
copy_vmcs02_to_vmcs12_rare() the same treatment.
