First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A computing device comprising: logic to receive permission information for guest physical mapping prior to utilization of paged memory by an Operating System (OS) based on the guest physical mapping; and logic to examine an OS Global Partition Table (GPT) to determine whether an expected Guest Virtual Address (GVA) is present in the GPT in response to a mismatch between a fault GVA and the expected GVA. 2 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein critical code a…
