I'm not sure if a binary search is the right algorithm here. It
introduces a lot of branches which may be mispredicted.
Options we've discussed are:
- Sort slots by size, use linear search (so the largest slots are found
quickly)
- Weighted balanced tree
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight-balanced_tree, use weight == slot size
Both options still make the miss case (mmio) slow. We could cache the
result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and checking the
page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or ept
misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need
to search the slot list/tree.
