[patch 5/5] cpuidle-haltpoll: disable host side polling when kvm virtualized

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When performing guest side polling, it is not necessary to 
also perform host side polling. 

So disable host side polling, via the new MSR interface, 
when loading cpuidle-haltpoll driver.
