Subject: [PATCH 3.2 58/60] KVM: x86: work around infinite loop in
 microcode when #AC is delivered

3.2.73-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Northup <digitaleric@...gle.com>

commit 54a20552e1eae07aa240fa370a0293e006b5faed upstream.

It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite
stream of "alignment check" (#AC) exceptions.  This causes the
microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never receives
another interrupt.  The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the
effects (CVE-2015-5307).

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Add definition of AC_VECTOR
 - Adjust filename, context]
