[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gvt: Optimize mmio_offset_compare() for efficiency

[Kuan-Wei Chiu]

The original code used conditional branching in the mmio_offset_compare
function to compare two values and return -1, 1, or 0 based on the
result. However, the list_sort comparison function only needs results
<0, >0, or =0. This patch optimizes the code to make the comparison
branchless, improving efficiency and reducing code size. This change
reduces the number of comparison operations from 1-2 to a single
subtraction operation, thereby saving the number of instructions.
