Abstract
A method for executing a privileged virtual machine (VM) in a secured environment. The method comprises mapping virtual address space of the privileged virtual machine (VM) to start at address zero of a physical memory; configuring memory address space of emulated and real peripheral devices on an interconnect bus; and blocking the privileged VM's operating system from re-configuring the memory address space of the interconnect bus.
