[PATCH 22/25] [PATCH] turn priviled operation into a macro

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



under paravirt, read cr2 cannot be issued directly anymore.
So wrap it in a macro, defined to the operation itself in case
paravirt is off, but to something else if we have paravirt
in the game
