Combined with the observation of EFER in the pipeline, the logic to enable/disable these optimisations needs to be in svm_update_guest_efer(), and need to trigger when EFER.SVME changes. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
