Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [Patch] Fixing Xsave Guest Save/Restore on non-xsave platform
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.27.0.100910
Okay, I have committed your fixed patch to xen-unstable. Note that you have
not added back all my reversions: I also reverted the changes you made to
expose XSAVE/AVX via cpuid. The reason was that you were passign through the
host CPU's CPUID feature flags, but not taking into account whether XSVAE
was disabled in the hypervisor by use_xsave=0 (the default!).
