Re: [Qemu-devel] [6392] Add BIOS fixes from KVM tree

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger <c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006@gmx.net>]

Hi,

I'm sorry to say that, but my tests showed that
0004_kvm-bios-add-mtrr-support.patch is buggy. It reads MSR_MTRRcap
unconditionally which is not allowed if the CPUID features do not have
CPUID_MTRR set. Real hardware will #GP in that case.
This was found by my MSR access tracing patch.

Please add a check for the CPUID_MTRR feature bit before reading
MSR_MTRRcap. Thanks.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
