Subject: [PATCH 3.12 121/127] KVM: check for !is_zero_pfn() in kvm_is_mmio_pfn()

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@...aro.org>

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

===============

commit 85c8555ff07ef09261bd50d603cd4290cff5a8cc upstream.

Read-only memory ranges may be backed by the zero page, so avoid
misidentifying it a a MMIO pfn.

This fixes another issue I identified when testing QEMU+KVM_UEFI, where
a read to an uninitialized emulated NOR flash brought in the zero page,
but mapped as a read-write device region, because kvm_is_mmio_pfn()
misidentifies it as a MMIO pfn due to its PG_reserved bit being set.
