Subject: KVM: MMU: Ignore reserved bits in cr3 in non-pae mode
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1138^2~238
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=217648638ccb62dfeea5ac5fe768539cdee61ed0;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.git

KVM: MMU: Ignore reserved bits in cr3 in non-pae mode

This patch removes the fault injected when the guest attempts to set reserved
bits in cr3.  X86 hardware doesn't generate a fault when setting reserved bits.
The result of this patch is that vmware-server, running within a kvm guest,
boots and runs memtest from an iso.
