2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Marcelo Tosatti (cherry picked from commit dc7e795e3dd2a763e5ceaa1615f307e808cf3932) This reverts commit 6c20e1442bb1c62914bb85b7f4a38973d2a423ba. To my understanding, it became obsolete with the advent of the more robust check in mmu_alloc_roots (89da4ff17f). Moreover, it prevents the conceptually safe pattern 1. set sregs 2. register mem-slots 3. run vcpu by setting a sticky triple fault during step 1.
