Subject: [PATCH v2 36/38] whpx: i386: add feature to intercept #GP MSR accesses
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:42:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420104248.86702-37-mohamed@unpredictable.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420104248.86702-1-mohamed@unpredictable.fr>
It turns out they're not that uncommon, so have
a feature around to log those.
