[patch 23/48] KVM: VMX: Dont allow uninhibited access to EFER on i386

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit 16175a796d061833aacfbd9672235f2d2725df65)

vmx_set_msr() does not allow i386 guests to touch EFER, but they can still
do so through the default: label in the switch.  If they set EFER_LME, they
can oops the host.

Fix by having EFER access through the normal channel (which will check for
EFER_LME) even on i386.
