Subject: [PATCH] fix msr list
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 13:24:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1254849890-3916-1-git-send-email-glommer@redhat.com> (raw)
For a while now, we are issuing a rdmsr instruction to find out which msrs in our
save list are really supported by the underlying machine. However, it fails to account
for kvm-specific msrs, such as the pvclock ones.
This patch moves then to the beginning of the list, and skip testing them.
