Subject[PATCH 11/50] KVM: MMU: Ignore reserved bits in cr3 in non-pae mode
Date
From: Ryan Harper <ryanh@us.ibm.com>

This patch removes the fault injected when the guest attempts to set reserved
bits in cr3. X86 hardware doesn't generate a fault when setting reserved bits.
The result of this patch is that vmware-server, running within a kvm guest,
boots and runs memtest from an iso.
