This patch series is a followup to the armv7 fp/simd lazy switch implementation, uses similar approach and depends on the series - see https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2015-September/016516.html It's based on earlier arm64 fp/simd optimization work - see https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2015-July/015748.html And subsequent fixes by Marc and Christoffer at KVM Forum hackathon to handle 32-bit guest on 64 bit host - see https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2015-August/016128.html This series has be tested on arm64/arm64 but not arm32/arm64 which needs validation (the RFT tag). The results substantially decrease the numbe of fp/simd context switches for a FP load. At this time I don't have arm32/arm64 working and requesting Christoffer and/or Marc to test 32 bit guest on 64 bit host.
