Subject: [PATCH 1/2] vmx,svm: Add module parameter to ignore the 'in use' check
Date: Tue,  5 Jul 2011 02:09:13 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1309820954-8629-1-git-send-email-levinsasha928@gmail.com> (raw)

Add a module parameter 'check_inuse' to allow disabling the check of whether
virtualization has already been enabled on the given cpu.

This is needed to deal with broken BIOS which set the SVM/VMX bit by default.
