Yup.

I'm currently debating whether I should just remove the printk (for
3.8) or actually do the iovec truncation by hand. The "remove the
printk" is a bit cheesy, but I suspect it's the simpler/safer
alternative.

Just for info, can you add a "WARN_ON_ONCE()" to handle_bad_sector()
just so that I see which particular path your kvm load triggers.
