[PATCH 3/7 v7] KVM: nSVM: No need to set bits 11:0 in MSRPM and IOPM bitmaps

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

 



According to APM vol 2, hardware ignores the low 12 bits in MSRPM and IOPM
bitmaps. Therefore setting/unssetting these bits has no effect as far as
VMRUN is concerned. Also, setting/unsetting these bits prevents tests from
verifying hardware behavior.
