Wanpeng Li d5361678e6 KVM: X86: Micro-optimize IPI fastpath delay
This patch optimizes the virtual IPI fastpath emulation sequence:

write ICR2                          send virtual IPI
read ICR2                           write ICR2
send virtual IPI         ==>        write ICR
write ICR

We can observe ~0.67% performance improvement for IPI microbenchmark
(https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20171219085010.4081-1-ynorov@caviumnetworks.com/)
on Skylake server.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
