Yea. vCMDQ HW requires a setting of the physical address of the base address to a queue in the VM's ram space. If the S2 mapping changes (resulting a different queue location in the physical memory), VMM should notify the kernel for a HW reconfiguration. I wonder what all the user cases are, which can cause a shifting of S2 mappings? VM migration? Any others? Thanks Nicolin
