Subject: [PATCH v6 07/12] KVM: SVM: Add helper to query if LBR virtualization needs to be enabled
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:36:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930193634.3415089-8-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930193634.3415089-1-seanjc@google.com>
Extract the logic for determining whether or not LBR virtualization needs
to be enabled into a helper in anticipation of growing the list of features
that depend on LBR virtualization.
No functional change intended.
