For me I think maybe i915 could save the snapshot for GVT, then GVT-g patch the 
snapshot itself, then there won't be leaking happened I think. Even we wrote a 
dedicated little program, we would do the same thing.

Subject: Wrt golden MMIO/CFG snaphot in GVT-g

Hi Guys:
I received some comments on from Kevin. Mostly his concern is the burden of 
maintain/releasing the MMIO/CFG snapshot for customers. As we might not have 
all the SKUs/platform which customers have, even we release the snapshot file 
generator for customer, it would still bring some extra effort when customer 
deploying the SW. And he suggested i915 better i915 could keep the snapshot for 
GVT-g during module loading. As we have shared some ideas about the security 
problem like leaking BIOS configuration to VM, better we could elaborate more 
ideas and figure out a better approach. Let's discuss. :)

Thanks,
Zhi.
