New Revision: 331466
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/331466
Log:
Add a workaround to the hypervisor detection for older versions of KVM.
Originally KVM set %eax to 0 in the cpuid leaf 0x4000000 rather than
to the highest supported leaf in the hypervisor "branch". Detect this
case and fixup the %eax value so that the hypervisor is still
detected.
