Hi Avi, Marcelo this patch series implements a few micro optimizations for the x86 KVM code base. The two major changes are constification of variables and an optimization for the SSE emulation. The former gives the compiler more opportunities for optimizations and ensures the r/o data is not put in a cache line together with data that gets written to. The latter should speed up the emulation of SSE register moves as the aligned variant of MOVDQ has lower latencies and higher throughput than the unaligned one.
