I'll prepare a patch. > > Actually I have such a patch on hand under testing, I will send out soon. :) I have a temporal patch as below, it seems that guest tsc(~300MHz) is still not correct and guest kernel panic during boot w/ message "MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connect to IO-APIC, kernel-panic - not syncing: IOAPIC + timer doesn't work" etc. Any proposal to improve my patch is a great appreciated. :) The patch is against x86 branch on Len Brown's tree.

As Radim pointed out before: | MSR_PLATFORM_INFO: Intel changes it from family to family and there is | no obvious overlap or default. If we picked 0 (any other fixed value), | then the guest would have to know that 0 doesn't mean that | MSR_PLATFORM_INFO returned 0, but that KVM doesn't emulate this MSR and | the value cannot be used. This is very similar to handling a #GP in the | guest, but also has a disadvantage, because KVM cannot say that | MSR_PLATFORM_INFO is 0. Simple emulation is not possible. This patch fix it by using rdmsr_safe to read MSR_PLATFORM_INFO in kvm guest in order that #GP can be fixed up.
