Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] KVM: x86: Read CR4.DE in emulator if and only if accessing DR4 or DR5
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:01:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612230113.684301-9-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260612230113.684301-1-seanjc@google.com>

Micro-optimize emulation of MOV DR instructions by checking CR4.DE if and
only if DR4 or DR5 is being accessed.

No functional change intended.
