I'd strong prefer to reword the shortlog and changelog.  It's not immediately
obvious what this is changing without the context from the v1 thread.  E.g.

  KVM: x86: Fix a spurious -E2BIG in KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID

  When retrieving emulated CPUID entries, check for an insufficient array size
  if and only if KVM is actually inserting an entry.  If userspace has a priori
  knowledge of the exact array size, KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID will incorrectly
  fail due to effectively requiring an extra, unused entry.

Depending on the leaf, eax/ebx/ecx/edx will be left uninitialized.  This wasn't
a bug before since @array is zeroed on allocation.

What about pre-checking @func?  I don't particular like the duplicate checks,
but none of the solutions are particularly elegant.  E.g.
