Subject: [PATCH] kvm: x86: Remove obsolet SS.RPL/DPL aligment
Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2010 15:57:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D18A95F.2010601@web.de> (raw)

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

This seems to date back to the days KVM didn't support real mode. The
check is no longer needed and, even worse, is corrupting the guest state
in case SS.RPL != DPL.
