[PATCH 07/10] nEPT: Advertise EPT to L1

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

 



Advertise the support of EPT to the L1 guest, through the appropriate MSR.

This is the last patch of the basic Nested EPT feature, so as to allow
bisection through this patch series: The guest will not see EPT support until
this last patch, and will not attempt to use the half-applied feature.
