[PATCH 04/31] KVM: SVM: align shadow CR4.MCE with host

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Mon Apr 21 2008 - 06:31:03 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@xxxxxxx>

This patch aligns the host version of the CR4.MCE bit with the CR4 active in
the guest. This is necessary to get MCE exceptions when the guest is running.
