Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [Patch][RESEND] Add hardware CR8 acceleration for TPR accessing
x64 Windows uses CR8 to access TPR very frequently. This patch enables
TPR shadow and allows mov-from/to-CR8 to access it directly; tests
indicates it can boost greatly the performance of x64 Windows 2003.

Thanks
