kvm_mwait_in_guest() was overcomplicated and also missed one AMD bug that should prevent MWAIT pass through. This series ignores errata that don't have any Linux bug defined; I know of two minor (not affecting the host) Core 2 errata: AG36. Split Locked Stores May not Trigger the Monitoring Hardware AG106. A REP STOS/MOVS to a MONITOR/MWAIT Address Range May Prevent Triggering of the Monitoring Hardware None of them are really worthy of a new condition if Linux never hit them ... we still have the OS X bug that Gabriel is hitting, but I'm ok with the original approach that sacrificed it for "greater good".
