Hi, this is the third round of the msrpm merge optimization patches for nested svm. The change to the previous post it the introduction of an direc_access_msrs list which contains all msrs that a guest might directly access. This list is used to initialize the msrpm bitmaps and the msrpm_offset table used for merging two tables. This optimization more than doubles the performance of kernel compiles in the nested guest using nested-shadow paging. The other random fixes in this set were not changed to the last version of this set. Patch 1/7 is new because it was forgotten in the last post.
