Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][SVM] Fix 32bit Windows guest VMs save/restore



This is true. I thought about it. Some problematic code path can be "enter 32bit mode => execute sysenter => turn on long mode" (or vice versa). In this case, SYSENTER MSRs should be copied from VMCB to vcpu fields. But current Xen doesn't do so.

further bugs because I don't believe the canonical sysenter msr values are
correctly shuffled between the vmcb and vcpu structures
