Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/5] Introduce SMM feature

Hi,

If it does, then the host kernel should be 4.4 or later. (If we want to capture version numbers, then for each minor release, the latest patch level should be required: 4.4.16, 4.5.7, 4.6.5, 4.7.0, because there have been a number of KVM tweaks and stable backports for SMM support.)

Better check /dev/kvm for the KVM_CAP_X86_SMM capability, otherwise the rhel-7 kernel is out even though smm is backported. Probably libvirt already has checks for other caps so it should be easy. cheers, Gerd
