2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Avi Kivity commit 99f85a28a78e96d28907fe036e1671a218fee597 upstream. KVM optimizes guest port 80 accesses by passthing them through to the host. Some AMD machines die on port 80 writes, allowing the guest to hard-lock the host. Remove the port passthrough to avoid the problem.
