From abc4fc58c5ba1a794092bcd97fdb1680b0b3398d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abel Gordon Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:35:25 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Detect shadow-vmcs capability Add logic required to detect if shadow-vmcs is supported by the processor. Introduce a new kernel module parameter to specify if L0 should use shadow vmcs (or not) to run L1.
