From 908e7d7999bcce70ac52e7f390a8f5cbc55948de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gleb Natapov Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:44:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: simplify folding of dirty bit into accessed_dirty MMU code tries to avoid if()s HW is not able to predict reliably by using bitwise operation to streamline code execution, but in case of a dirty bit folding this gives us nothing since write_fault is checked right before the folding code. Lets just piggyback onto the if() to make code more clear.
