Hi,
And the svm-emulation is only available on AMD hardware.
I assume you mean nested SVM emulation in a KVM guest is only
available on real AMD hardware?
Is this due to something inherent, or just a limitation of the KVM
code not handling all the necessary traps in kvm-intel?
I don't think you could hardware-emulate a CPU from a different brand.
AMD instructions would probably trap on Intel, but might also just do
something completely different without a #VMEXIT. Same problem would
exist vice versa.
Would be nice to have nested VMX support though, given that Intel CPUs
are so much more common than AMDs. I've been searching on the Dell
website (in the Netherlands) for a laptop recently and I couldn't find a
single AMD model.
With kind regards,
Erik
