Doesn't this immediately try to dereference a NULL pointer? How much
testing have you done of this code?
Thanks Jim.
I have tested this code in a simulator to successfully boot a VM in
shadow mode. Seems this code is not covered(but I am now still
perplexed why this is not covered). Any possibility that the
check_cr_write() is not triggered when emulating the cr operations?
CR moves usually don't go through the emulator (the main exception is
emulation of invalid guest state when the processor doesn't support
unrestricted_guest=1, but even that is unlikely to happen with
EFER.LMA=1). This explains why you didn't see the failure.
Oh, right. It normally goes to handle_cr(). Thanks, Paolo.

Anyway, this should be a bug and thanks for pointing this out, and
I'll send out the fix later.
Thanks,
Paolo
