Subject: [PATCH 34/45] KVM: s390: Sanity check on validity intercept

From: Carsten Otte <cotte@...ibm.com>

This patch adds a sanity check for the content of the guest
prefix register content before faulting in the cpu lowcore
that it refers to. The guest might end up in an endless loop
where SIE complains about missing lowcore with incorrect
content of the prefix register without this fix.
