From 4f205fd45a5c192907188d6f8f6d7e66db859248 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 02:14:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] paravirt: Allow selected bug checks to be Allow selected bug checks to be skipped by paravirt kernels. The two most important are the F00F workaround (which is either done by the hypervisor, or not required), and the 'hlt' instruction check, which can break under some hypervisors.
