KVM: Remove redundant reading of rax on OUT instructions
kvm_emulate_pio() and complete_pio() both read out the
RAX register value and copy it to a place into which
the value read out from the port will be copied later.
This patch removes this redundancy.
/*** snippet from arch/x86/kvm/x86.c ***/
int complete_pio(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
...
if (!io->string) {
if (io->in) {
val = kvm_register_read(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RAX);
memcpy(&val, vcpu->arch.pio_data, io->size);
kvm_register_write(vcpu, VCPU_REGS_RAX, val);
}
...
