So far, CPUID data were stored in two different data structures. First of them was a structure allowing direct access for CPUID data according to function number and the second was a plain array of struct cpuX86cpuid. This was a silly design which resulted in converting data from one type to the other and back again or implementing similar functionality for both data structures. The patch leaves only the direct access structure. This makes the code both smaller and more maintainable since operations on different objects can use common low-level operations. All 57 tests for cpu subsystem still pass after this rewrite.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
