Usually, guest page faults are detected by the kvm page fault handler,

However, in ceratin circumstances, we can detect a page fault much later.
One of these events is the following combination:
THe automatically switched msrs are never changed on the host (with
the exception of MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE) and thus there is no need to save
them on every vm entry.

rather uncommon to use 32-bit userspace on 64-bit
Hi!
Yes, probably will. The other option is to break existing 32-bit
userspace, which is a bit more common AFAICT.
Judging from experience with the wext 32/64 bit fiasco it seems to be
rather uncommon to use 32-bit userspace on 64-bit machines.
Well, it would break 32-bit userspace on

But that doesn't excuse abusing the same interface, IMHO.

Hi Andrew
Not sure if you prefer to wait Pierre work on futex64, so just in case, I
prepared this patch.
Update on this take6 :
- Rebased on linux-2.6.21-rc7-mm2 , since futex64 were droped from mm
Pierre, I can resubmit another patch on top on your next patch, so please do as
you prefer

The point is: I'm not satisfied with the result.
