Subject: [198/200] KVM: SVM: Dont allow nested guest to VMMCALL into host

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

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

From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@....com>

This patch disables the possibility for a l2-guest to do a
VMMCALL directly into the host. This would happen if the
l1-hypervisor doesn't intercept VMMCALL and the l2-guest
executes this instruction.
