[PATCH] KVM: x86: fix eflags state following processor init/reset

Show all headers | View raw

Reference SDM 3.4.3:

Following initialization of the processor (either by asserting the 
RESET pin or the INIT pin), the state of the EFLAGS register is 
00000002H.

However, the eflags fixed bit is not set and other bits are also not 
cleared during the init/reset in kvm.

This patch fix it by set eflags register to 00000002H following 
initialization of the processor.
