+ * This test attempts to see if the VMX registers change across preemption.
+ * Two things should be noted here a) The check_vmx function in asm only checks
+ * the non volatile registers as it is reused from the syscall test b) There is
+ * no way to be sure preemption happened so this test just uses many threads
+ * and a long wait. As such, a successful test doesn't mean much but a failure
+ * is bad.
