[PATCH 11/12] x86/sev: Handle CLFLUSH MMIO events

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Wed Jul 21 2021 - 10:23:27 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Handle CLFLUSH instruction to MMIO memory in the #VC handler. The
instruction is ignored by the handler, as the Hypervisor is
responsible for cache management of emulated MMIO memory.
