[SeaBIOS] [PATCH v3] fw/msr_feature_control: add support to set MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL

2016-06-22 Thread Haozhong Zhang
OS usually expects BIOS to set certain bits in MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL for some features (e.g. VMX and LMCE). QEMU provides a fw_cfg file "etc/msr_feature_control" to advise bits that should be set in MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL. If this file exists, SeaBIOS will set the advised bits in that MSR.
