v2 changes:

     KVM: APIC: avoid instruction emulation for EOI writes

     Instruction emulation for EOI writes can be skipped, since sane
     guest simply uses MOV instead of string operations. This is a nice
     improvement when guest doesn't support x2apic or hyper-V EOI
     support.

     a single VM bandwidth is observed with ~8% bandwidth improvement
     (7.4Gbps->8Gbps), by saving ~5% cycles from EOI emulation.



Thanks, applied. Please use git format-patch (and git send-email) instead of git show in the future.
