Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Hypervisor System Call

The Hypervisor is called by the system call instruction, with the LEV field set to 1:

sc 1

for some reason however, rather than encode the call this way, the Linux Kernel encodes it as:

.long 0x44000022

which should be exactly the same thing???? Why would the kernel not just encode it as sc 1 ????
