[RFC PATCH 2/3] kvm: x86: Use KVM_DEBUGREG_NEED_RELOAD instead of KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED

From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Thu Apr 16 2020 - 06:35:20 EST


Once any #BP enabled in DR7, it will set KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED, which
leads to reload DRn before every VM entry even if none of DRn changed.

Drop KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED flag and set KVM_DEBUGREG_NEED_RELOAD flag
for the cases that DRn need to be reloaded instead, to avoid unnecessary
DRn reload.
