Subject: [21/34] x86, amd: Check X86_FEATURE_OSVW bit before accessing OSVW MSRs

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

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

From: Andreas Herrmann <herrmann.der.user@...glemail.com>

commit f01487119dda3d9f58c9729c7361ecc50a61c188 upstream.

If host CPU is exposed to a guest the OSVW MSRs are not guaranteed
to be present and a GP fault occurs. Thus checking the feature flag is
essential.
