Hi, Alex,
Thanks for test with the patch. It's good to see your data always
consistent, and that proves my environment really a bit messed.
Currently the minimal overhead is because dom0 has seldom
access to RTE entries at run-time. Later when EOI is also virtualized,
the overhead may increase. Just guess, and we can see exact
influence later when final part is ready.
I'll resend the patch with Isaku's comment.
Thanks,
Kevin
