Please don’t.
I wish that we keep clear separation between kvm-unit-tests and self-tests.
In the sense that kvm-unit-tests tests for correct CPU behaviour semantics
and self-tests tests for correctness of KVM userspace API.
In the future, I wish to change kvm-unit-tests to cpu-unit-tests. As there is no
real connection to KVM. It’s a bunch of tests that can be run on top of any CPU
Implementation (weather vCPU by some hypervisor or bare-metal CPU) and
test for it’s semantics.
I have already used this to find semantic issues on Hyper-V vCPU implementation for example.
Regarding your question on how to disable IA32_VMX_MISC in QEMU:
Paolo have recently created a patch-series for QEMU that can be used to do this.
(Aimed for QEMU nVMX Live-Migration support)
See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-07/msg00711.html
(You should search for final patch-series version…)
