From de7ea885c5394c1fba7443cbf33bd2745d32e6c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 18:47:26 +0200 Subject: kvm: Switch to unlocked MMIO Do not take the BQL before dispatching MMIO requests of KVM VCPUs. Instead, address_space_rw will do it if necessary. This enables completely BQL-free MMIO handling in KVM mode for upcoming devices with fine-grained locking.
