If you want to integrate MCE testing into qemu using the host to inject MCEs, you'll need to figure out a way to do it that allows the whole thing to be done without potentially killing the wrong process orIn the test it's very simple. The process is kept running during the injection. With that its addresses do not change. So that problem is already solved. The feature doesn't aim to be a general feature for normal users, it's merely for QA.
Yeah, but if we put a feature in qemu, we need to be able to support it for anyone who wants to use it.
Adding something for a very particular test suite that won't work in normal circumstances is just asking for trouble IMHO.
I still don't really understand all the pieces that are involved here. Why do we need a guest physical address? Are we testing reflecting MCEs from the host into a guest? Since that functionality isn't in qemu aren't we putting the cart before the horse here?
