Devices on the KVM_FAST_MMIO_BUS by definition have length zero and are thus used for notification purposes rather than data transfer. For example eventfd for virtio devices. This means that when emulating mmio instructions which target devices on this bus we can immediately handle them and return without needing to load the instruction from guest memory. For now we restrict this to stores as this is the only use case at present. For a normal guest the effect is negligible, however for a nested guest we save on the order of 5us per access.
