Subject: [PATCH] kvm_para_available() should check hypervisor bit before accessing hypervisor cpuid leaf.
Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:45:49 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120430114549.GA22191@redhat.com> (raw)

This couid range does not exist on real HW and Intel spec says that
"Information returned for highest basic information leaf" will be
returned. Not very well defined.
