There is a similar patch already in kvm-20 (which takes a slightly different approach of changing nr_good_msrs depending on the mode). However, the part that hoists the software msr saving above the vmentry loop is not in my tree, and it does look good. It also makes sense to use software save/load for the msrs that only matter to userspace. > (I only tested it on KVM-18 since the git tree still has problem in my > side, but I'd like to post this earlier to collect more feedback) > Thanks, eddie > Please let me know if I can do anything to help with the git problem. I also suggest subscribing to kvm-commits so that you can see the work on my tree. Also, please post patches *both* inline and as attachments :) - inline makes it easy to review and comment, and attachments to prevent mangling (this only applies to those with broken mailers -- a normal mailer will set the attachments content disposition to 'inline', which lets thunderbird show it as normal text). -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
