Description Marcelo Tosatti 2010-03-19 20:46:25 UTC

commit a68a6a7282373bedba8a2ed751b6384edb983a64
Author: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti>
Date:   Thu Oct 1 19:28:39 2009 -0300

    KVM: x86: disable paravirt mmu reporting
    
    Disable paravirt MMU capability reporting, so that new (or rebooted)
    guests switch to native operation.
    
    Paravirt MMU is a burden to maintain and does not bring significant
    advantages compared to shadow anymore.
