Linus, if it's not too late, please pull

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git kvm-updates/2.6.30

this fixes a crash during reboot with the kvm modules loaded if CONFIG_SMP is selected.

If you merge the larger cpumask initializing allocator, you can drop this.

KVM: Explicity initialize cpus_hardware_enabled
Under CONFIG_MAXSMP, cpus_hardware_enabled is allocated from the heap and
not statically initialized. This causes a crash on reboot when kvm thinks
vmx is enabled on random nonexistent cpus and accesses nonexistent percpu
lists.
Fix by explicitly clearing the variable.
