[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ignore reads to the EOI register.

[Glauber Costa <gcosta@redhat.com>]

They seem legal in real hardware, even though the EOI
is a write-only register. By "legal" I mean they are completely
ignored, but at least, don't cause any bits to be set at ESR.

Without this patch, some (very recent) linux git trees will fail
to boot in i386.

This is generated from kvm-userspace, but should apply well to
plain qemu too.
