The patch titled
kvm: Two-way apic tpr synchronization
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kvm-two-way-apic-tpr-synchronization.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kvm: Two-way apic tpr synchronization
From: Dor Laor <dor.laor@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
We report the value of cr8 to userspace on an exit. Also let userspace change
cr8 when we re-enter the guest. The lets 64-bit guest code maintain the tpr
correctly.
Thanks for Yaniv Kamay for the idea.
