Subject: [PATCH] fix checking of cr0 validity
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:28:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100121132846.GB17813@redhat.com> (raw)

Move to/from Control Registers chapter of Intel SDM says.  "Reserved bits
in CR0 remain clear after any load of those registers; attempts to set
them have no impact". Control Register chapter says "Bits 63:32 of CR0 are
reserved and must be written with zeros. Writing a nonzero value to any
of the upper 32 bits results in a general-protection exception, #GP(0)."

This patch tries to implement this twisted logic.
