Hello Avi,
please dont apply this patch, there is a better one...
Heiko pointed out, that its generally safer to use an opt-in method instead
of killing problematic cases.
What about this updated patch:
From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
Newer machine models can add new feature bits, which might require host
changes. We have to ensure that we only advertise feature flags which we
consider save. I disabled all unassigned feature flags, as well as stfle,
large pages and some others.
