H A Dvmcb.hdiff 271554 Sat Sep 13 22:21:04 MDT 2014 neel AMD processors that have the SVM decode assist capability will store the
instruction bytes in the VMCB on a nested page fault. This is useful because
it saves having to walk the guest page tables to fetch the instruction.

vie_init() now takes two additional parameters 'inst_bytes' and 'inst_len'
that map directly to 'vie->inst[]' and 'vie->num_valid'.

The instruction emulation handler skips calling 'vmm_fetch_instruction()'
if 'vie->num_valid' is non-zero.

The use of this capability can be turned off by setting the sysctl/tunable
'hw.vmm.svm.disable_npf_assist' to '1'.
