Subject: [106/107] KVM: Fix register corruption in pvclock_scale_delta

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

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

From: Zachary Amsden <zamsden@...hat.com>

(cherry picked from commit de2d1a524e94a79078d9fe22c57c0c6009237547)

The 128-bit multiply in pvclock.h was missing an output constraint for
EDX which caused a register corruption to appear.  Thanks to Ulrich for
diagnosing the EDX corruption and Avi for providing this fix.
