[PATCH 19/30] KVM: SVM: set accessed bit for VMCB segment selectors

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Fri Feb 27 2009 - 20:48:24 EST


From: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx>

In the segment descriptor _cache_ the accessed bit is always set
(although it can be cleared in the descriptor itself). Since Intel
checks for this condition on a VMENTRY, set this bit in the AMD path
to enable cross vendor migration.
