[patch 59/88] KVM: SVM: Set the g bit of the cs selector for cross-vendor migration

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Apr 30 2009 - 13:34:23 EST



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

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

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@xxxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from 25022acc3dd5f0b54071c7ba7c371860f2971b52)

The hardware does not set the 'g' bit of the cs selector and this breaks
migration from amd hosts to intel hosts. Set this bit if the segment
limit is beyond 1 MB.
