Hi Paolo,

   Previously we saw your RFC patches of UMIP sent out, and we would 
like to try some unit test in Intel. I found a patch written by you in 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9225929/, guess this is for the kvm 
unit test(though I failed to git apply it directly).
   And I wonder, when will it be integrated to kvm unit test repo?
   Besides, is this all the test for UMIP unit test? I.e. do we need to 
construct a scenario in the test to trigger vm exit and let hypervisor 
inject a GP fault? - I did not see this scenario in this patch. Or any 
other suggestions? :-)

Thanks
Yu
