[Xen-devel] [PATCH] cpuid handling for guest

["Kamble, Nitin A" <nitin.a.kamble@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Keir, Ian,

   Attached is a patch to provide right view of cpuid to the HVM guests. Some of the CPU features such as APIC, PAE, MTRR, HT are virtualized; while others are not virtualized yet such as TM1, TM2, MCA and there are some features which do not need virtualization such as MMX. With the patch Guest sees only those processor features in the cpuid which are virtualized in the hyper visor, or do not need any virtualization in hyper visor.
