This patch introduce hypervisor_cpuid_base() which loop test the hypervisor existence function until the signature match and check the number of leaves if required. This could be used by Xen/KVM guest to detect the existence of hypervisor. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "H.
