Subject: KVM: x86: disable paravirt mmu reporting
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 19:28:39 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091001222839.GA23229@amt.cnet> (raw)


Disable paravirt MMU capability reporting, so that new (or rebooted)
guests switch to native operation.

Paravirt MMU is a burden to maintain and does not bring significant
advantages compared to shadow anymore.

Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
