[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 13/17] target-i386: Add VMWare CPUID Timing infor


From: Don Slutz
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 13/17] target-i386: Add VMWare CPUID Timing information in -machine pc, accel=kvm.
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:56:18 -0400

Part of "target-i386: Add way to expose VMWare CPUID"

This is EAX and EBX data for 0x40000010.

Add new #define CPUID_HV_TIMING_INFO for this.

The best documentation I have found is:
   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/22643

And a test under ESXi 4.0 shows that VMware is setting this data.
