I Acked patch 1.

Thanks.

I am wondering if patch 15 and 17 contain
logic that can be shared with svm and moved into common code.

Unless you have specific suggestions I'm happy to take tham as they
are.

I suggest Eddie to send a patch which moves the logic he thinks that
can be shared into seperate functions within the vmx tree as first step.
I do not mind whether Eddie should do that before or after you commit
the patch set.

Eddie, I've queued up 01-19 ready to be committed.  Patch 20 still has
some MSRs that are passed through directly from the host, which I think
needs to be fixed.  I'd prefer just a new patch 20 rather than a new
drop of the whole series next time, to save me having to re-check
01-19.

Cheers,

Tim.
