Re: [kvm-devel] [PATCH] KVM: Fix lockup on 32-bit intel hosts with nx disabled in the bios

Intel hosts, without long mode, and with nx support disabled in the bios
have an efer that is readable but not writable.  This causes a lockup on
switch to guest mode (even though it should exit with reason 34 according to
the documentation).

Avi, thank you for the patch. I can confirm that this patch works on
my IBM X60s notebook. Without it, the whole PC locks up upon starting
qemu.

Thanks,
Jeff.
