[PATCH 05/30] nVMX: Implement reading and writing of VMX MSRs

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

 



When the guest can use VMX instructions (when the "nested" module option is
on), it should also be able to read and write VMX MSRs, e.g., to query about
VMX capabilities. This patch adds this support.
