Subject: [PATCH] Add memory clobber to hypercalls Cc: Avi Kivity Cc: Marcelo Tosatti Hypercalls can modify arbitrary regions of memory. Make sure to indicate this in the clobber list. This fixes a hang when using KVM_GUEST kernel built with GCC 4.3.0. This was originally spotted and analyzed by Marcelo.
