2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Glauber Costa (cherry picked from commit 310b5d306c1aee7ebe32f702c0e33e7988d50646) We currently unblock shadow interrupt state when we skip an instruction, but failing to do so when we actually emulate one. This blocks interrupts in key instruction blocks, in particular sti; hlt; sequences If the instruction emulated is an sti, we have to block shadow interrupts. The same goes for mov ss. pop ss also needs it, but we don't currently emulate it. Without this patch, I cannot boot gpxe option roms at vmx machines.
