[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add VMX cpuid feature to qemu64

2011-01-04 Thread Nadav Har'El
This patch adds the "VMX" cpuid feature to the default "qemu64" CPU type. If KVM doesn't support this feature (i.e., nested VMX is not in the code, or not enabled) it will mask out this bit. Note that other relevant CPU types, such as "core2duo" already correctly include the VMX feature, and "qemu
