[PATCH 1/4] KVM: x86: reserve bit 8 of non-leaf PDPEs and PML4Es in 64-bit mode on AMD

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Sep 02 2014 - 11:14:05 EST


Bit 8 would be the "global" bit, which does not quite make sense for non-leaf
page table entries. Intel ignores it; AMD ignores it in PDEs, but reserves it
in PDPEs and PML4Es. The SVM test is relying on this behavior, so enforce it.
