Now that basic support for guest CPU PM is upstream, I started looking for making it migrateable. Since a VM can be migrated between different hosts, PM info needs to change each time with move the VM to a different host.
This adds infrastructure - based on Load/Unload - to support exactly that: QEMU generates AML (changing it on migration) and stores it in reserved memory, OSPM loads _CST from there on demand. This is a partially functional prototype. What works: loading _CST dynamically and reporting it to OSPM What doesn't: detecting host configuration and generating correct _CST package notifying guest about the change to trigger _CST re-evaluation disabling mwait/halt exists as appropriate Michael S.
