[PATCH 3.13 028/103] Revert "KVM: x86: Increase the number of fixed MTRR regs to 10"

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Sep 30 2014 - 17:36:37 EST


3.13.11.8 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0d234daf7e0a3290a3a20c8087eefbd6335a5bd4 upstream.

This reverts commit 682367c494869008eb89ef733f196e99415ae862,
which causes 32-bit SMP Windows 7 guests to panic.

SeaBIOS has a limit on the number of MTRRs that it can handle,
and this patch exceeded the limit. Better revert it.
Thanks to Nadav Amit for debugging the cause.
