I could, if I knew what to emulate ;-) Does anybody know what a real processor
with VMX does when you give it VMCLEAR with a physical address which is beyond
the amount of available memory? If the answer was "it throws #GP" or "it
does VMFail(Invalid Physical Address) or something of this sort, I could
easily do this in the emulation too - I just don't know yet what it does...
