Subject: [PATCH v6 1/4] xen/libxc: Allow changing max number of hypervisor cpuid leaves
Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014 23:51:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1395373911-4268-2-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1395373911-4268-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>
Add support for changing max number of hypervisor leaves from configuration
file.
This number can be specified using xl's standard 'cpuid' option. Only lowest
8 bits of leaf's 0x40000x00 eax register are processed, all others are ignored.
