/**
* write_cpustate_to_list:
* @cpu: ARMCPU
- * @kvm_sync: true if this is for syncing back to KVM
*
* For each register listed in the ARMCPU cpreg_indexes list, write
* its value from the ARMCPUState structure into the cpreg_values list.
* This is used to copy info from TCG's working data structures into
* KVM or for outbound migration.
*
- * @kvm_sync is true if we are doing this in order to sync the
- * register state back to KVM. In this case we will only update
- * values in the list if the previous list->cpustate sync actually
- * successfully wrote the CPU state. Otherwise we will keep the value
- * that is in the list.
- *
* Returns: true if all register values were read correctly,
* false if some register was unknown or could not be read.
* Note that we do not stop early on failure -- we will attempt
* reading all registers in the list.
