摘要：Virtual-machine-monitor operation and implementation is facilitated by numberof easily implemented features and extensions added to the features of a processor

architecture. These features, one or more of which are used in various embodiments ofthe present invention, include a vmsw instruction that provides a means for transitioningbetween virtualization mode and non-virtualization mode without an interruption, avirtualization fault that faults on an attempt by a priority-0 routine in virtualization modeattempting to execute a privileged instruction, and a flexible highest-implemented-address mechanism to partition virtual address space into a virtualization address spaceand a non-virtualization address space.
