Note to QA: no testcase (would require a cooperating hypervisor, perhaps we can provide it), but the patch is obvious.

Is there still no test case or a cooperating hypervisor now?

Comment 7 Jinxin Zheng 2011-12-22 01:52:16 EST

Hello?

If there's no dedicated testing hypervisor, we could only do sanity check ..

Comment 8 Paolo Bonzini 2011-12-22 05:21:37 EST

Yes, please.
