kvm_load_{guest|host}_xsave_state handles xsave on vm entry and exit,
part of which is managing memory protection key state. The latest
arch.pkru is updated with a rdpkru, and if that doesn't match the base
host_pkru (which about 70% of the time), we issue a __write_pkru.
To improve performance, implement the following optimizations:
1. Reorder if conditions prior to wrpkru in both
kvm_load_{guest|host}_xsave_state.
Flip the ordering of the || condition so that XFEATURE_MASK_PKRU is
checked first, which when instrumented in our environment appeared
to be always true and less overall work than kvm_read_cr4_bits.
For kvm_load_guest_xsave_state, hoist arch.pkru != host_pkru ahead
one position. When instrumented, I saw this be true roughly ~70% of
the time vs the other conditions which were almost always true.
With this change, we will avoid 3rd condition check ~30% of the time.
2. Wrap PKU sections with CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS,
as if the user compiles out this feature, we should not have
these branches at all.

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.
