You need a newer binutils.  I'm using binutils-2.16.91.0.6 (gotta love
that version number), shipped with Fedora Core 5.

The VT-extensions added by Intel and AMD only adds a limited number of
instructions each. If you want to be user friendly it might be a good
idea to implement these instructions as macros. I'm pretty sure
VT-extension support in Xen works with my old binutils version.


Yes, Xen uses macros.

I figured a newish machine will have a newish binutils. Looks like I was wrong. I don't like uglifying the code, but if many users hit this, there won't be much of a choice.

[A minor problem with macros is that you can't let gcc choose the registers for you with instructions that have operands]
