KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: Optimize entry path
By shuffling a few instructions around we can execute more memory loads in parallel, giving us a small performance boost. With this patch and a simple priviledged SPR access loop guest, I get a speed bump from 2013052 to 2035607 exits per second. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
