[PATCH 12/38] KVM: x86: fix checking of cr0 validity

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Tue Feb 16 2010 - 05:43:28 EST


From: Gleb Natapov <gleb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Move to/from Control Registers chapter of Intel SDM says. "Reserved bits
in CR0 remain clear after any load of those registers; attempts to set
them have no impact". Control Register chapter says "Bits 63:32 of CR0 are
reserved and must be written with zeros. Writing a nonzero value to any
of the upper 32 bits results in a general-protection exception, #GP(0)."

This patch tries to implement this twisted logic.
