KVM: MTRR: improve kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
 - kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type() only checks one page in MTRRs so
   that it's unnecessary to check to see if the range is partially
   covered in MTRR

 - optimize the check of overlap memory type and add some comments
   to explain the precedence
