[PATCH 102/104] KVM: x86 emulator: fix src, dst value initialization

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Mon Sep 17 2007 - 04:53:39 EST


From: Nitin A Kamble <nitin.a.kamble@xxxxxxxxx>

Some operand fetches are less than the machine word size and can result in
stale bits if used together with operands of different sizes.
