I think it would be helpful to state that Xen's state is suitably cached in _svm_cpu_up(), as this does now introduce an ordering dependency during boot. Is it possibly worth putting an assert checking the TR selector? That ought to be good enough to catch stray init reordering problems. > Suggested-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.coop...@citrix.com> > Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeul...@suse.com> Either way, Acked-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.coop...@citrix.com>
