Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] export paravirtual cpuid flags in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
Date: Mon,  3 May 2010 11:52:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1272901927-829-5-git-send-email-glommer@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1272901927-829-4-git-send-email-glommer@redhat.com>

Right now, we were using individual KVM_CAP entities to communicate
userspace about which cpuids we support. This is suboptimal, since it
generates a delay between the feature arriving in the host, and
being available at the guest.

A much better mechanism is to list para features in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
This makes userspace automatically aware of what we provide. And if we
ever add a new cpuid bit in the future, we have to do that again,
which create some complexity and delay in feature adoption.
