Subject: [26/45] KVM: x86 emulator: limit instructions to 15 bytes

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

commit eb3c79e64a70fb8f7473e30fa07e89c1ecc2c9bb upstream

[ <cebbert@...hat.com>: backport to 2.6.27 ]

While we are never normally passed an instruction that exceeds 15 bytes,
smp games can cause us to attempt to interpret one, which will cause
large latencies in non-preempt hosts.
