- block
- allow per cell (managing inter-core/inter-cell impacts)
- moderate access to keyboard controller (ports 0x60/0x64)
- - moderate programming of LVTs that evaluate the Delivery Mode field
- (NMI, SMI...)
- - review & fix x2APIC trapping and emulation (e.g. writing to DLR/DFR)
o ARM support
- v7 (32-bit)
- v8 (64-bit)
- MCEs
- PCI AER
- APEI
+ - Thermal
- ...
o monitoring
- report error-triggering devices behind IOMMUs via sysfs
- hypervisor console via debugfs?
+ - cell software watchdog via comm region messages
+ -> time out pending comm region messages and kill failing cells
+ (includes timeouts of unanswered shutdown requests)
