It's just the easiest path forward. "one large register" is mainly useful if registers have interdependencies. That doesn't exist in the APIC AFAIR, but it does exist elsewhere. Another way to handle interdependencies is to defer applying the changes until a KVM_RUN, and then evaluate them as a group. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
