Since when is sending NMIs not supported, and since when is this
Dom0-specific? If you want to deal with this, you should do so
properly: Special case sending NMIs in the respective Xen specific
code (using VCPUOP_send_nmi), and carry this out in a way not
dependent upon running (un)privileged.
You'd also need to implement the upcall support for receiving NMIs,
which IIRC isn't yet done for pvops.
Hi Ian,

Could you give a suggestion on which file to change to support NMI upcall?
I compare with vMCE code, made similar change.
Use VCPUOP_send_nmi to send nmi between pvm guest vcpus, but nmi isn't triggered.

thanks
