[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 03/17] target-i386: Add Hypervisor level.

[Don Slutz]

Also known as Paravirtualization level or maximim cpuid function present in 
this leaf.
This is just the EAX value for 0x40000000.

QEMU knows this is KVM_CPUID_SIGNATURE (0x40000000).

This is based on:

Microsoft Hypervisor CPUID Leaves:

Linux kernel change starts with:

Also:

running in a VMware virtual machine):

QEMU has the value HYPERV_CPUID_MIN defined.
