Andrew M. Theurer <habanero.com> - 
---Problem Description---
Need fix for KVM to prevent calling adjust_vmx_controls() a second time
 
Contact Information = Andrew Theurer <atheurer.com> Ryan Harper 
<ryanh.com> 
 
---uname output---
vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5
 
Machine Type = x3650M2 
 
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
 
---Steps to Reproduce---
 Run a Windows VM on RHEL54.  Collect kvmtrace output.
 
---KVM Component Data---

This problem has a very significant performance impact on Windows VMs running on KVM.

This problem already has a fix upstream.  We just need this applied for a 0 day errata for 
RHEL54.  Upstream patch is here:
http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=125138769804970&w=2

Performance results are here:
http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=125140575507242&w=2

I will attach a patch that applies to kmod-kvm-83-105.el5 src rpm

Please mirror this to RedHat ASAP and include Chris Wright <chrisw>
