Subject: [PATCH][QEMU] vmxcap: Open MSR file in unbuffered mode
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:43:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <511B7C4E.8070403@siemens.com> (raw)

Python may otherwise decide to to read larger chunks, applying the seek
only on the software buffer. This will return results from the wrong
MSRs.
