[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/3] target-i386: kvm: Abort if MCE bank count is not supported by host

[Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>]

Instead of silently changing the number of banks in mcg_cap based
on kvm_get_mce_cap_supported(), abort initialization if the host
doesn't support MCE_BANKS_DEF banks.

Note that MCE_BANKS_DEF was always 10 since it was introduced in
QEMU, and Linux always returned 32 at KVM_CAP_MCE since
KVM_CAP_MCE was introduced, so no behavior is being changed and
the error can't be triggered by any Linux version. The point of
the new check is to ensure we won't silently change the bank
count if we change MCE_BANKS_DEF or make the bank count
configurable in the future.
