Abstract
A hypervisor receives an interrupt that includes a target address and, in turn, branches to an administrating interrupt vector. Next, the administrating interrupt vector determines whether to branch to a piggyback interrupt handler corresponding to a piggyback interrupt vector. Based upon the determination, the hypervisor either branches to the piggyback interrupt handler or to an administrating interrupt handler that corresponds to the administrating interrupt vector.
