[RFC PATCH 14/35] Subarch support for CPUID instruction

From: Chris Wright
Date: Tue May 09 2006 - 04:52:16 EST


Allow subarchitectures to modify the CPUID instruction. This allows
the subarch to provide a limited set of CPUID feature flags during CPU
identification. Add a subarch implementation for Xen that traps to the
hypervisor where unsupported feature flags can be hidden from guests.
