Hi,

In kvm_setup_pio() we have code like this:

        kvm_arch_ops->cache_regs(vcpu);
        memcpy(vcpu->pio_data, &vcpu->regs[VCPU_REGS_RAX], 4);
        kvm_arch_ops->decache_regs(vcpu);

So what is the reason of saving RSP and RIP before the memcpy()
function, then recovering it right after that?

AFAICS, there nothing is change by the memcpy() function, so I cannot
figure it out why it is necessary to do that.

Many thanks,
Jun
