Dear Maxim, Thanks for your reply. I knew, in our current design/implementation, EPT/NPT is enabled by a module param. I think it is possible to modify the QEMU/KVM code to let it support EPT/NPT and show page table (SPT) simultaneously (e.g., for an 80-core server, 40 cores use EPT/NPT and the other 40 cores use SPT). What do you think? Thanks!
