KVM: MMU: Discard reserved bits checking on PDE bit 7-8
1. It's related to a Linux kernel bug which fixed by Ingo on 07a66d7c. The original code exists for quite a long time, and it would convert a PDE for large page into a normal PDE. But it fail to fit normal PDE well. With the code before Ingo's fix, the kernel would fall reserved bit checking with bit 8 - the remaining global bit of PTE. So the kernel would receive a double-fault. 2. After discussion, we decide to discard PDE bit 7-8 reserved checking for now. For this marked as reserved in SDM, but didn't checked by the processor in fact... Signed-off-by: Sheng Yang <sheng@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
