[2.6.22.2 review 20/84] KVM: SVM: Reliably detect if SVM was disabled by BIOS

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

 



From: Joerg Roedel <[email protected]>

This patch adds an implementation to the svm is_disabled function to
detect reliably if the BIOS disabled the SVM feature in the CPU. This
fixes the issues with kernel panics when loading the kvm-amd module on
machines where SVM is available but disabled.
