[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 16/35] kvm: Improve reporting of fatal errors

[Marcelo Tosatti]

From: Jan Kiszka <address@hidden>

Report KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN, KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY, and KVM_EXIT_EXCEPTION
with more details to stderr. The latter two are so far x86-only, so move
them into the arch-specific handler. Integrate the Intel real mode
warning on KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY that qemu-kvm carries, but actually
restrict it to Intel CPUs. Moreover, always dump the CPU state in case
we fail.
