Subject: [PATCH 1/3] kvm-s390: Fix printk on SIGP set arch
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 10:27:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200901221027.38992.borntraeger@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200901221026.13261.borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

KVM on s390 does not support the ESA/390 architecture. We refuse to 
change the architecture mode and print a warning. While testing a
crashme for kvm, I spotted two problems with the printk:

o A malicious can flood host dmesg
o There was no newline at the end of the printk

This patch fixes both problems.
