Subject[PATCH 15/47] KVM: Optimize searching for highest IRR
Date
From: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com>

Most of the time IRR is empty, so instead of scanning the whole IRR on
each VM entry keep a variable that tells us if IRR is not empty. IRR
will have to be scanned twice on each IRQ delivery, but this is much
more rare than VM entry.
