Subject: [PATCH 3.16 217/245] KVM: nVMX: Don't emulate instructions in
 guest mode

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit 07721feee46b4b248402133228235318199b05ec upstream.

vmx_check_intercept is not yet fully implemented. To avoid emulating
instructions disallowed by the L1 hypervisor, refuse to emulate
instructions by default.
