SubjectRe: [PATCH 4/6] KVM: x86: wean fast IN from emulator_pio_in

For some reason the "already" confused the heck out of me. I thought it was
referring to a previous patch, which it kind of is, but then I couldn't figure
out the relevance to this patch.

Ah, I know why I got confused, the in-kernel PIO case has nothing to do with the
usage in complete_fast_pio_in(), e.g. complete_fast_pio_in() could be modified to
call complete_emulator_pio_in() directly even without the previous cleanup in
this series.

Can you split this patch in two? It's comically trivial, but it makes the
changelogs much easier to understand.

Use __emulator_pio_in() directly for fast PIO instead of bouncing through
emulator_pio_in() now that __emulator_pio_in() fills "val" when handling
in-kernel PIO. vcpu->arch.pio.count is guaranteed to be '0', so this a
pure nop.

No functional change intended.

and

Use complete_emulator_pio_in() directly when completing fast PIO, there's
no need to bounce through emulator_pio_in() as the comment about ECX
changing doesn't apply to fast PIO, which isn't used for string I/O.

No functional change intended.
