[PATCH 1/5] lguest: fix spurious BUG_ON() on invalid guest stack.

From: Rusty Russell
Date: Thu Mar 26 2009 - 19:52:04 EST



Impact: fix crash on misbehaving guest

gpte_addr() contains a BUG_ON(), insisting that the present flag is
set. We need to return before we call it if that isn't the case.
