Abstract

In one embodiment, a method for resolving address space conflicts includes detecting that a guest operating system attempts to access a region occupied by a first portion of a virtual machine monitor and relocating the first portion of the virtual machine monitor within the first address space to allow the guest operating system to access the region previously occupied by the first portion of the virtual machine monitor.
