[PATCH 4/9] KVM: selftests: Drop unreachable, dead code from hardware disable test
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Jul 30 2026 - 15:21:09 EST
Drop all of the code that is unreachable in the hardware disable test, as
it adds a lot of noise that makes the test seem far more complicated than
it actually is.
