Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family. Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(), this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae. Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware
|
|
virtualization extensions. You will need a fairly recent
|
|
processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also
|
|
need to select one or more of the processor modules below.
|
|
|
|
This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
|
|
a character device node named /dev/kvm.
|

|
|
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called kvm.

If unsure, say N.
