Hi Marcelo / Gleb,

This is my current patch queue for ppc against 3.8.  Please pull.

It contains a bug fix for an issue that Ben Collins ran into, where
a guest would just abort because it traps during an unknown instruction.

Is this regression from 3.7? If it is not it should wait for 3.9.

The first time I heard of this was with a 3.8 guest. But we can also wait for 3.9 and push it through stable afterwards.

It's such a simple change, what is the issue with including it? If the bug is hit, qemu/kvm exits anyway, so adding the patch can't do any damage.

If we continue pushing simple changes that can't do any damage to
late -rc trees 3.8 will never be ready to released. The patch can go to
stable after 3.8 is released. Again if this is indeed regression this
another matter.

It's indeed a regression for me. Where as QEmu used to work, now it doesn't. The regression appears to only occur when running 3.8 kernel in guest, which means the only way to run a 3.8 kernel in guest is with this patch.

Into which queue? kvm.git doesn't contain it anywhere.
