[PATCH v8 00/20] KVM: x86: Enable APX for guests

From: Chang S. Bae

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 17:34:58 EST


Hi Paolo,

Here is a rebase onto the KVM next tree including Zhao's test tag.

I expect Sashiko to reply to a bunch of patches. I previously found some
false positives, so I will comment on them again in this posting.

Thanks,
Chang
