Hi, Everyone
I have been encountered a problem recently.
My box uses Nehalem E5520 CPU, and this model doesn't support x2apic
feature.
I created a VM on KVM, and uses cpu mode=pass-through, I can get the
right cpu
model from the VM, but I can also see that the CPU in the vm
supports x2apic.
This seems werid.
From QEMU's CPU model definition, Nehalem also doesn't support
x2apic.
Can anyone explain it?
Thanks to you all!
Below is the cpuinfo from host and guest:
