Two more interesting but undocumented ioctls:
- KVM_SET_IDENTITY_MAP_ADDR
- KVM_SET_BOOT_CPU_ID
Little background: we're debugging a KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN problem for the
"largest bug-free kernel" on Core i5 machine. I've been looking at
plain QEMU sources but it seems "qemu-kvm" that the person is using does
much more during initialization. Do we have a known good list of
mandatory steps required to properly initialize KVM on all CPUs?
