Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 00/34] x86: enable FRED for x86-64

We wanted to check whether there are KVM regressions with the v5 FRED patch set,
and had a round of Kselftest on KVM guests. 
Following are the results on X86-64.

The Simics FRED model has one more passed case, which is x86:test_vsyscall_32,
due to https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230311084824.2340-1-xin3.li@intel.com/.
