Do you mean the ABI defined in the Intel Software Developer's manual 3B? Or is
vmcs12 only an ABI internal to the kvm module?
I understand that my patch is wrong because I need to decrease the size of
padding32. I tested the patch by running Ubuntu 12.04 as the L1 guest and
Tinycore Linux as the L2 guest.
Let me know what you think.
