[PATCH] KVM: x86: allow RSM from 64-bit mode

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Nov 03 2015 - 08:29:39 EST


The SDM says that exiting system management mode from 64-bit mode
is invalid, but that would be too good to be true. But actually,
most of the code is already there to support exiting from compat
mode (EFER.LME=1, EFER.LMA=0). Getting all the way from 64-bit
mode to real mode only requires clearing CS.L and CR4.PCIDE.
