Subject[PATCH 01/33] KVM: SVM: support writing 0 to K8 performance counter control registers
Date
From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>

This lets SVM ignore writes of the value 0 to the performance counter control
registers. Thus enabling them will still fail in the guest, but a write of 0
which keeps them disabled is accepted. This is required to boot Windows
Vista 64bit.

[avi: avoid fall-thru in switch statement]
