[PATCH] target/i386: Remove split lock detect in Snowridge CPU model
Posted by Chenyi Qiang 2 years, 10 months ago
At present, there's no mechanism intelligent enough to virtualize split
lock detection correctly. Remove it in Snowridge CPU model to avoid the
feature exposure.

Sorry I have missed this before 6.1 soft freeze.  I'm queueing
this for 6.2.  Thanks!
