Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/6] x86/kvm: Reserve KVM_FEATURE_HOST_SUSPEND_TIME and MSR_KVM_HOST_SUSPEND_TIME
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2021 18:06:40 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210426090644.2218834-2-hikalium@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210426090644.2218834-1-hikalium@chromium.org>
No functional change; just add documentation for
KVM_FEATURE_HOST_SUSPEND_TIME and its corresponding
MSR_KVM_HOST_SUSPEND_TIME to support virtual suspend timing injection in
later patches.
