[PATCH v4 03/19] KVM: VMX: Disable FRED if FRED consistency checks fail
From: Xin Li (Intel)
Date: Fri Mar 28 2025 - 13:18:46 EST
From: Xin Li <xin3.li@xxxxxxxxx>
Do not virtualize FRED if FRED consistency checks fail.
Either on broken hardware, or when run KVM on top of another hypervisor
before the underlying hypervisor implements nested FRED correctly.
