[PLUG] Determining BIOS Settings Without Rebooting

[Rich Shepard]

   Is there a way to determine whether hardware virtualization support is
enabled without rebooting and directly checking the BIOS settings?

   For example, do any of these flags from /proc/cupinfo tell me that
virtualization is enabled and not just capable of being activated?

flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm
3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch

TIA,

Rich
