2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

commit ac04527f7947020c5890090b2ac87af4e98d977e upstream.

If a slots guest physical address and host virtual address unequal (mod
large page size), then we would erronously try to back guest large pages
with host large pages. Detect this misalignment and diable large page
support for the trouble slot.
