Subject: [PATCH 1/4] KVM: SVM: nested: Don't allocate VMCB structures on stack

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

Do not allocate a vmcb_control_area and a vmcb_save_area on the stack,
as these structures will become larger with future extenstions of
SVM and thus the svm_set_nested_state() function will become a too large
stack frame.
