[patch 18/60] KVM: x86 emulator: fix access registers forinstructions with ModR/M byte and Mod = 3

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Dec 13 2007 - 02:03:27 EST



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

------------------
From: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@xxxxxxxxxxx>

patch 4e62417bf317504c0b85e0d7abd236f334f54eaf in mainline.

The patch belows changes the access type to register from memory for
instructions that are declared as SrcMem or DstMem, but have a
ModR/M byte with Mod = 3.

It fixes (at least) the lmsw and smsw instructions on an AMD64 CPU,
which are needed for FreeBSD.
