Thread-topic: [Xen-devel][Patch]No writeback for bt operation
Hi, Keir, 
    I find that Win2k3 guest will sometimes write back data to Read-only
registers, and it is caused by "bt" instruction. The attached tiny patch
is to disable writeback for bt instruction.

Signed-off-by: Xu Dongxiao <dongxiao.xu@xxxxxxxxx>

Best Regards,
