Subject: [PATCH 14/25 -v2] get rid of inline asm for load_cr3
Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:12:26 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11867732273108-git-send-email-gcosta@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11867732221652-git-send-email-gcosta@redhat.com>

Besides not elegant, it is now even forbidden, since it can
break paravirtualized guests. load_cr3 should call write_cr3()
instead.
