Keir: This is to to make the IDE device model multithreading so that the VMX domain IO access completion (triggering DMA operation) can be asynchronize with the completion of DMA operation. With this patch we get 8%--14% performance gain for kernel build. Thanks, eddie Yang, Xiaowei wrote: > Originally in qemu when a IDE dma transfer is started which is > triggered by access to 0xc000

an obvious fix to PIC IO intercept. In PIC IO, address from send_pio_req is physical address already.

This patch implements a new mechanism to buffer the MMIO_WRITE and PIO_WRITE packet in a queue, and then submit them to qemu-dm in batch. This could save a lot of domain switch time. We implement this as a generic one to do ioreq in batch. However, we only use it to batch the MMIO_WIRTE request for stdvga(0xA0000-0xC0000) in order to solve the win2k boot issue for hvm domain. Without this patch,

Keir, The patch moves ACPI timer to HV, which is the last platform timer in Qemu. We found Vista polls ACPI timer very frequently (about 15 times averagely) when handling timer (RTC @ 64HZ) interrupt routine. Though the exact reason is known, it should be related to system time adjustment. When it''s in Qemu, the overhead is big. After moving, Vista''s idle overhead decreases

Keir, This patch fixes cirrus and rt8139 co-exist issue in new qemu-dm. The root cause is that if two MMIO spaces are continuous, qemu may misuse last MMIO space''s read/write to handle current request.

Currently, Xen does not support injecting an NMI to HVM guest OS. Adding this feature is necessary for those softwares which depend on NMI to function correctly, such as KDB and oprofile. The attached patch allows NMI to be injected to guest OS in NMIP capable platforms. It also enables to queue an NMI and then inject it as soon as possible. Signed-off-by: Haitao Shan

This a step forward to fix the security hole introduced by dom0''s 1:1 mapping VT-d table: remove the critical code and data from it. The more flexible solution is to update dom0''s VT-d table on demand as what will be done for other PV domains. However, there could bring a performance issue even with software optimization. Iotlb flush of some hardware is time-consuming.
