Subject: [PATCH 4/4] KVM: PPC: Not optimizing MSR_CE and MSR_ME with paravirt.
Date: Wed, 30 May 2012 09:54:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1338371686-8194-5-git-send-email-agraf@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1338371686-8194-1-git-send-email-agraf@suse.de>

From: Bharat Bhushan <r65777@freescale.com>

If there is pending critical or machine check interrupt then guest
would like to capture it when guest enable MSR.CE and MSR_ME respectively.
Also as mostly MSR_CE and MSR_ME are updated with rfi/rfci/rfmii
which anyway traps so removing the the paravirt optimization for MSR.CE
and MSR.ME.
