+This event is sent when a descriptor table register is accessed and the
+introspection has been enabled for this event (see **KVMI_VCPU_CONTROL_EVENTS**).
+
+``kvmi_event`` and ``kvmi_event_descriptor`` are sent to the introspection tool.
+
+``descriptor`` can be one of::
+
+	KVMI_DESC_IDTR
+	KVMI_DESC_GDTR
+	KVMI_DESC_LDTR
+	KVMI_DESC_TR
+
+``write`` is 1 if the descriptor was written, 0 otherwise.
