Subject: KVM: x86: MMU: Use clear_page() instead of init_shadow_page_table()
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=774926641d1968a4839da3a6ac79d914742aac2f;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

KVM: x86: MMU: Use clear_page() instead of init_shadow_page_table()

Not just in order to clean up the code, but to make it faster by using
enhanced instructions: the initialization became 20-30% faster on our
testing machine.
