You can just set HCR.TID3 to get hyp traps on only the feature ID registers, right? (traps access to only ID_PFR0, ID_PFR1, ID_DFR0, ID_AFR0, ID_MMFR0, ID_MMFR1, ID_MMFR2, ID_MMFR3, ID_ISAR0, ID_ISAR1, ID_ISAR2, ID_ISAR3, ID_ISAR4, ID_ISAR5, MVFR0, and MVFR1, none of which should be on performance-critical paths I hope.) -- PMM -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
