[PATCH] disable interrupt shadow state for emulated instruction

From: Glauber Costa
Date: Wed Apr 08 2009 - 13:57:50 EST


we currently unblock shadow interrupt state when we skip an instruction,
but failing to do so when we actually emulate one. This blocks interrupts
in key instruction blocks, in particular sti; hlt; sequences

Without this patch, I cannot boot gpxe option roms at vmx machines.
This is described at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494469
