Hi David,

Yes, you may go ahead and drop that sentence. AMD Zen 6 (Venice) supports
event type 5 for INT1, and the FRED Virtualization spec [1] has been
updated to reflect this.

I also ran your int1_fred_test selftest on top of my SVM FRED series [2],
and all three tests pass. Note that the series stops intercepting ICEBP
for FRED-enabled guests, which is what lets the guest see event type 5.

$ sudo ./int1_fred_test
Random seed: 0x55d6fcb8
Testing FRED event types with EPT fault on stack
  ICEBP (EVENT_TYPE_PRIV_SWEXC): PASSED
  INT3 (EVENT_TYPE_SWEXC): PASSED
  INT $0x20 (EVENT_TYPE_SWINT): PASSED


One small nit: could the message above say "EPT/NPT" instead of "EPT",
since the test also runs on AMD?

Thanks,
Shivansh
