[PATCH] KVM/VMX: Avoid CR3 VMEXIT during guest real mode when "unrestricted guest" is supported.
From: Lan Tianyu
Date: Wed Aug 16 2017 - 04:05:10 EST
These CR3 VMEXITs was introduced for platform without "unrestricted guest"
support. This is to set ept identity table to guest CR3 in guest real
mode because these platforms don't support ept real mode(CR0.PE and CR0.PG
must be set to 1). But these VMEXITs is redundant for platforms with
"unrestricted guest" support.
