Hi there,
I'm now reading codes of kvm-unit-tests and I found that some of the
test cases for x86 is only designed for x86_64 (including access.flat,
apic.flat, emulator.flat, idt_test.flat and so on). I wonder why these
cases are not designed for i386? Or is there any other concerns?
Thanks,
Arthur

First of all, 32-bit hosts are rarely used in x86 virtualization today.
Also, some tests may actually stress the same logic of KVM if run on
32-bit x86.
That said, if you find cases where you think a 32-bit variant of a test
case makes sense, feel free to suggest it!

If functionality it tests does not depend on what mode vcpu is in then
having support only for x86_64 is simpler.
