1 KVM CPUID bits

3 =====================================================
5 A guest running on a kvm host, can check some of its features using
6 cpuid. This is not always guaranteed to work, since userspace can
7 mask-out some, or even all KVM-related cpuid features before launching
8 a guest.
10 KVM cpuid functions are:
12 function: KVM_CPUID_SIGNATURE (0x40000000)
13 returns : eax = 0,
14           ebx = 0x4b4d564b,
15           ecx = 0x564b4d56,
16           edx = 0x4d.
17 Note that this value in ebx, ecx and edx corresponds to the string "KVMKVMKVM".
18 This function queries the presence of KVM cpuid leafs.
21 function: define KVM_CPUID_FEATURES (0x40000001)
22 returns : ebx, ecx, edx = 0
23           eax = and OR'ed group of (1 << flag), where each flags is:
26 flag                               || value || meaning

42 KVM_FEATURE_CLOCKSOURCE_STABLE_BIT ||    24 || host will warn if no guest-side
