[RFC PATCH v3 01/11] KVM: Capture VM start

From: Raghavendra Rao Ananta
Date: Tue Jan 04 2022 - 14:49:32 EST


Capture the start of the KVM VM, which is basically the
start of any vCPU run. This state of the VM is helpful
in the upcoming patches to prevent user-space from
configuring certain VM features after the VM has started
running.
