Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: allow tests to use bad virtual-APIC page address
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 15:35:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1555335333-23636-2-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
As mentioned in the comment, there are some special cases where we can simply
clear the TPR shadow bit from the CPU-based execution controls in the vmcs02.
Handle them so that we can remove some XFAILs from vmx.flat.
