From 61f4237d5b005767a76f4f3694e68e6f78f392d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2010 22:25:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] xen: just completely disable XSAVE Some (old) versions of Xen just kill the domain if it tries to set any unknown bits in CR4, so we can't reliably probe for OSXSAVE in CR4. Since Xen doesn't support XSAVE for guests at the moment, and no such support is being worked on, there's no downside in just unconditionally masking XSAVE support.
