    x86: Correctly detect hypervisor · 9df56f19
    Jason Wang 提交于
    We try to handle the hypervisor compatibility mode by detecting hypervisor
    through a specific order. This is not robust, since hypervisors may implement
    each others features.
    
    This patch tries to handle this situation by always choosing the last one in the
    CPUID leaves. This is done by letting .detect() return a priority instead of
    true/false and just re-using the CPUID leaf where the signature were found as
    the priority (or 1 if it was found by DMI). Then we can just pick hypervisor who
    has the highest priority. Other sophisticated detection method could also be
    implemented on top.
    
    Suggested by H. Peter Anvin and Paolo Bonzini.
