2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
There is a bug in KVM that can be used to crash a host on Intel
machines. If emulator is tricked into emulating mov to/from DR instruction
it causes NULL pointer dereference on VMX since kvm_x86_ops->(set|get)_dr
are not initialized. Recently this is not exploitable from guest
userspace, but malicious guest kernel can trigger it easily.
CVE-2010-0435
On upstream bug was fixed differently around 2.6.34.
