Because all fields can be read/written with a single vmread/vmwrite on 64-bit kernels, the switch statements in copy_vmcs12_to_shadow and copy_shadow_to_vmcs12 are unnecessary. What I did in this patch is to copy the two parts of 64-bit fields separately on 32-bit kernels, to keep all complicated #ifdef-ery in init_vmcs_shadow_fields. The disadvantage is that 64-bit fields have to be listed separately in shadow_read_only/read_write_fields, but those are few and we can validate the arrays when building the VMREAD and VMWRITE bitmaps. This saves a few hundred clock cycles per nested vmexit. However there is still a "switch" in vmcs_read_any and vmcs_write_any. So, while at it, this patch reorders the fields by type, hoping that the branch predictor appreciates it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
