Subject: [PATCH] set accessed bit for VMCB segment selectors
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 22:27:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12315364554190-git-send-email-andre.przywara@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <49678FF9.2040404@redhat.com>

In the segment descriptor _cache_ the accessed bit is always set
(although it can be cleared in the descriptor itself). Since Intel
checks for this condition on a VMENTRY, set this bit in the AMD path
to enable cross vendor migration.
