Interesting result - you've read about the wbinvd issues? Is there no
wbinvd in the bios shipped with older kvm? Which VM extension did you
test, both Intel and AMD? I would bet that your X issues are due to the
same effect. X startup/shutdown involves a lot of wbinvd calls on my
test boxes.


kvm.git now traps invd and wbinvd on amd, so there shouldn't be any issues there. I hope that Intel will add similar traps in future iterations of VT.
