Exactly, and all I need extra an extra variable in the save record (or
simply a single bit in a safe place in one of the existing ones),
telling me if the MTRRs are overlapped or not. The CPUID code is just a
part of the logic that finds this out in the hypervisor; and
specifically it is a part that's better _left_in_ the hypervisor. That
is in fact what I was trying to say a few messages ago, when I called
the cpuid_eax() function the tricky part. :)
Do we agree that a bool_t overlapped should be added to struct
hvm_hw_mtrr for this case?
Thanks,
Razvan Cojocaru
