[PATCH 0/5] KVM: x86: Clean up MSR PAT handling

Posted by Sean Christopherson 2 years, 9 months ago

Clean up KVM's handling of MSR PAT.  The PAT is currently lumped in with
MTRRs, and while the PAT does affect memtypes, it's not an MTRR and is even
exempted from KVM's kludgy attempts to play nice with UC memory for guests
with passthrough devices that have non-coherent DMA.

Note, this includes two previously posted patches:
