[PATCH 1/3] KVM: x86: Emulator flag for instruction with no big real mode
From: Nadav Amit
Date: Wed Jun 18 2014 - 10:24:08 EST
Certain instructions, such as monitor and xsave do not support big real mode
and cause a #GP exception if any of the accessed bytes effective address are
not within [0, 0xffff]. This patch introduces a flag to mark these
instructions, including the necassary checks.
