[PATCH] kvm: x86: zero EFER on INIT

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Mon Oct 19 2015 - 05:34:25 EST


Not zeroing EFER means that a 32-bit firmware cannot enter paging mode
without clearing EFER.LME first (which it should not know about).
Yang Zhang from Intel confirmed that the manual is wrong and EFER is
cleared to zero on INIT.
