Subject: [PATCH 4.0 067/105] MIPS: KVM: Do not sign extend on unsigned MMIO load

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

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

From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@...dl.org>

commit ed9244e6c534612d2b5ae47feab2f55a0d4b4ced upstream.

Fix possible unintended sign extension in unsigned MMIO loads by casting
to uint16_t in the case of mmio_needed != 2.
