[ 056/184] KVM: x86: relax MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME alignment check

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Tue Jun 04 2013 - 19:23:14 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

RHEL5 i386 guests register non 32-byte aligned addresses:

kvm-clock: cpu 1, msr 0:3018aa5, secondary cpu clock
kvm-clock: cpu 2, msr 0:301f8e9, secondary cpu clock
kvm-clock: cpu 3, msr 0:302672d, secondary cpu clock

Check for an address+len that would cross page boundary
instead.
