The virtual machine control logic is to transfer control of the apparatus among a host and its guests. The execution unit is to execute an instruction to copy information from a virtual memory address in one guest's virtual address space to a virtual memory address in another guest's virtual address space. The memory management unit is to translate the virtual memory addresses to physical memory addresses.
