Two more interesting but undocumented ioctls:

 - KVM_SET_IDENTITY_MAP_ADDR
 - KVM_SET_BOOT_CPU_ID

I'll post patches.

Little background: we're debugging a KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN problem for the "largest bug-free kernel" on Core i5 machine. I've been looking at plain QEMU sources but it seems "qemu-kvm" that the person is using does much more during initialization. Do we have a known good list of mandatory steps required to properly initialize KVM on all CPUs?

KVM_GET_API_VERSION (unless you're sure you aren't running on 2.6.20 or 2.6.21)
KVM_CREATE_VM
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
KVM_CREATE_VCPU
KVM_SET_TSS_ADDR
KVM_SET_IDENTITY_MAP_ADDR (really only needed on EPT machines, but recommended to invoke on all hosts)
KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP (optional; if you want in-kernel lapic/ioapic/pic)
KVM_SET_CPUID2
KVM_RUN

qemu also initializes all the vcpu state from its own values and has elaborate memory setup.
