Subject: [PATCH 23/41] KVM: Workaround vmx inability to virtualize the reset state
Date: Sun,  1 Apr 2007 17:35:20 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1175438139530-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <117543813916-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com>

The reset state has cs.selector == 0xf000 and cs.base == 0xffff0000,
which aren't compatible with vm86 mode, which is used for real mode
virtualization.

When we create a vcpu, we set cs.base to 0xf0000, but if we get there by
way of a reset, the values are inconsistent and vmx refuses to enter
guest mode.

Workaround by detecting the state and munging it appropriately.
