Subject: Re: [PATCH V3 0/4] KVM vPMU support for AMD CPUs
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 19:28:51 +0200	[thread overview]

> Currently KVM only supports vPMU for Intel CPUs. This patchset enables

> V3:
>   * Rebase the code to the latest of KVM tree (queue branch);
>   * Branch out the Intel specific code from pmu.c to pmu_intel.c, in order

I still wasn't happy about the API, especially naming, but didnt't find
any bugs in functionality, also

Tested-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com>

I didn't give reviewed-by to all patches, but if we want it fast,
there's no problem in fixing some stuff later.  (Though it usually
doesn't happen and we end up with bad code.)
