[PATCH kvm-unit-tests 5/5] x86: Test monitor and mwait on real-mode

From: Nadav Amit
Date: Wed Jun 18 2014 - 10:21:14 EST


monitor and mwait are now considered to behave as nop. New patch enables
monitor and mwait in realmode as well. This test checks whether they are
handled as nop in realmode as well.
