Subject: [PATCH v2 20/37] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Reduce mftb per guest entry/exit

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2021 23:46:35 +1000

mftb is serialising (dispatch next-to-complete) so it is heavy weight
for a mfspr. Avoid reading it multiple times in the entry or exit paths.
A small number of cycles delay to timers is tolerable.
