For sanity, could we either add comments, or macros for those
instrucions?
Something like:
#define INSN_INL 0xed
#define INSN_VMCALL 0x0f,0x01,0xc1
#define INSN_VMMCALL 0x0f,0x01,0xd9
#define VMWARE_HYPERCALL \
ALTERNATIVE_2(_ASM_MK_NOP(INSN_INL),
_ASM_MK_NOP(INSN_VMCALL), X86_FEATURE_VMCALL,
_ASM_MK_NOP(INSN_VMMCALL), X86_FEATURE_VMMCALL)
With possibly a patch that does 's/_ASM_MK_NOP/_ASM_MK_INSN/' on
arch/x86/ for further sanity :-)
