Subject: [PATCH v3 11/12] whpx: i386: fetch segments on-demand
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:13:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324151323.74473-12-mohamed@unpredictable.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324151323.74473-1-mohamed@unpredictable.fr>
Instead of save/restore, fetch segments dynamically.
Rely on the fetched state instead of loading from memory.
Or, if available, on the VM exit context.
