Hi Paolo,

We intended to enable UMIP for KVM and found you had already worked on it.
Do you have any plan for the following patch set? It's there anything else you expect
us help to do?
Yes, I plan to resend these patches for 4.11.

Hi Paolo,

Previously we saw your RFC patches of UMIP sent out, and we would like to try some unit test in Intel. I found a patch written by you in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9225929/, guess this is for the kvm unit test(though I failed to git apply it directly).
And I wonder, when will it be integrated to kvm unit test repo?
Besides, is this all the test for UMIP unit test? I.e. do we need to construct a scenario in the test to trigger vm exit and let hypervisor inject a GP fault? - I did not see this scenario in this patch. Or any other suggestions? :-)

Thanks
Yu
