> Subject: [PATCH V2 4/4] x86: correctly detect hypervisor
>
> We try to handle the hypervisor compatibility mode by detecting hypervisor
> through a specific order. This is not robust, since hypervisors may implement
> each others features.
>
> This patch tries to handle this situation by always choosing the last one in the
> CPUID leaves. This is done by letting .detect() returns a priority instead of
> true/false and just re-using the CPUID leaf where the signature were found as
> the priority (or 1 if it was found by DMI). Then we can just pick hypervisor who
> has the highest priority. Other sophisticated detection method could also be
> implemented on top.

> Suggested by H. Peter Anvin and Paolo Bonzini.
