Is this mode not detected by intel_vgpu_active() ? If we need to disable movntdqa, we need to disable it. But not by directly checking CPUID, it should be already decoded into a cpu feature flag -- assuming we need more than intel_vgpu_active and possibly rearranging the init order. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
