[vbox-dev] Running Guest Ring 0 Code Natively

[Sander van Leeuwen]

We already have code in place which does exactly that. There are limits 
as to how much you can scan though.
See /src/VBox/VMM/PATM/CSAM.cpp, CSAMR3CheckCodeEx. Called before 
executing ring 0 code in
raw mode (/src/VBox/VMM/EM.cpp).
