In one embodiment, fault information relating to a fault associated with the operation of guest software is received. Further, a determination is made as to whether the fault information satisfies one or more filtering criterion. If the determination is positive, control remains with the guest software and is not transferred to the virtual machine monitor (VMM).

In one embodiment, a command pertaining to one or more portions of a register is received from guest software. Further, a determination is made as to whether the guest software has access to all of the requested portions of the register based on indicators within a mask field that correspond to the requested portions of the register. If the guest software has access to all of the requested portions of the register, the command received from the guest software is executed on the requested portions of the register.

In one embodiment, fault information relating to a fault associated with the operation of guest software is received. Further, a determination is made as to whether the fault information satisfies one or more fault filtering criteria. If the determination is positive, the guest software is permitted to disregard the fault.

Methods and apparatus are provided for processing information items. Processing comprises one of context filtering, context prioritizing, or both context filtering and context prioritizing. In some embodiments the set of context items form which processing criteria are derived includes a user's calendar or appointments, schedule changes, exceptions, and the like.

In some embodiments, the invention involves a system to deprivilege components of a virtual machine monitor and enable deprivileged service virtual machines (SVMSs) to handle selected trapped events. An embodiment of the invention is a hybrid VMM operating on a platform with hardware virtualization support. The hybrid VMM utilizes features from both hypervisor-based and host-based VMM architectures. In at least one embodiment, the functionality of a traditional VMM is partitioned into a small platform-dependent part called a micro-hypervisor (MH) and one o more platform-independent parts called service virtual machines (SVMs). The micro-hypervisor operates at a higher virtual machine (VM) privilege level than any SVM, while the SVM and other VM’s may still have access to any instruction set architecture (ISA) privilege level. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
