Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 32/71] arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c: work around gcc-4.4.4 bug

3.16.7-ckt14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>

commit 5ec45a192fe6e287f0fc06d5ca4f3bd446d94803 upstream.

Fix this compile issue with gcc-4.4.4:

   arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c: In function 'kvm_mmu_pte_write':
   arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:4256: error: unknown field 'cr0_wp' specified in initializer
   arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:4257: error: unknown field 'cr4_pae' specified in initializer
   arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c:4257: warning: excess elements in union initializer
   ...

gcc-4.4.4 (at least) has issues when using anonymous unions in
initializers.
