The following part of commit 9ef621d3be56e1188300476a8102ff54f7b6793f 
(KVM: Support mixed endian machines) changed on the size of a struct 
that is exported to userspace:

include/linux/kvm.h:

 	__u32 vcpu_id;

 		struct {
 			__u32 extra_u32[KVM_TRC_EXTRA_MAX];

Packing a struct was the correct idea, but it packed the wrong struct.
