From e3267cbbbfbcbe9c18833e89b10beabb1117cb55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 13:24:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: include pvclock MSRs in msrs_to_save For a while now, we are issuing a rdmsr instruction to find out which msrs in our save list are really supported by the underlying machine. However, it fails to account for kvm-specific msrs, such as the pvclock ones. This patch moves then to the beginning of the list, and skip testing them.
