This needs crystal clear documentation.  What, exactly, is the host
telling the guest if it sets this flag?


and if KVM_HINTS_SLD_FATAL is set, it
needs to be set to sld_fatal mode.



This needs much better docs.  Do you mean:

"If KVM_HINTS_SLD_FATAL is set, then the guest will get #AC if it does
a split-lock regardless of what is written to MSR_TEST_CTRL?"



Hi Andy,

KVM_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT, KVM_HINTS_SLD_FATAL and their docs are 
introduced in Patch 5. Do I still need to explain them in detail in this 
patch?
