Thread-topic:	MSRs in Xen!

Hi I notice that some of the MSRs aren’t emulated in Xen in the file xen/include/asm-x86/msr-index.h where I don’t see a define for MSR_TEST_CTL 0x0033 or MSR_BBL_CR_BUSY 0x011b etc.

This is causing a GPF in my VM while trying to read or write to them. I’d like to know why these and some others aren’t implemented. If there’s a specific IA CPU family for which alone we’re emulating these registers I’d like to know that too.

Regards,

Bhaskar.
