[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Return amount of ASIDs

[Alexander Graf]

Return amount of ASIDs

With SVM the TLB supports tagging to distinguish TLB entries from 
different virtual CPUs. This tag is called an ASID. The amount of ASIDs 
is given in EBX of the SVM-CPUID-leaf. Currently we return 0, which 
might break hypervisors. Let's better return something >0 here, say 0x10.
Since we're flushing the complete TLB on every VM entry and exit we're 
not making use of the ASID information anyways.
