On ARM we will at least be able to say what happened, because our kvm_arch_init_vcpu() will fail (when we try the ioctl to tell the kernel "be this kind of CPU") and we can print a message there. However QEMU as a whole doesn't have any way of falling back to TCG at that point so it just bails out. -- 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
