Subject: KVM: Assume that writes smaller than 4 bytes are to non-pagetable pages
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e925c5ba9380dad5fdf1d0a9d9199ac43be74c6a;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

KVM: Assume that writes smaller than 4 bytes are to non-pagetable pages

This allows us to remove write protection earlier than otherwise.  Should
some mad OS choose to use byte writes to update pagetables, it will suffer
a performance hit, but still work correctly.
