Hi Boris,
I did a fast and simple test on a small Intel machine and all went fine. I'll
do some more after my vacation in 2015.
After adapting your sent linux kernel patches I'am interestet in tracing our
HVM guest from outside with perf. Are you already having some patches and would
you share these?
Thank you for your work!
