+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_vcpu_event`` (with the vCPU state), the descriptor-table register
+(``descriptor``) and the access type (``write``) 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.
