Re: [Xen-devel] Windows SMP

[Wei Huang <wei.huang2@xxxxxxx>]

James,

Travis Betak released a Windows driver which patches Windows TPR 
accesses. You can find it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/amdvopt/. 
The code would be useful as a reference. src link:
svn co https://amdvopt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/amdvopt amdvopt

Thanks,

-Wei
