Use one generic vhost_copy_to_user() instead of two dedicated accessor. This will simplify the conversion to fine grain accessors. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>The reason we did it like this is because it was faster. Want to try benchmarking before we change it?
Faster is a good side effect of such conversion. Otherwise we need two new fine grain memory accessor. But, anyway, I can test its impact. Thanks
