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

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

commit 9dbe6cf941a6fe82933aef565e4095fb10f65023 upstream.

If we do not do this, it is not properly saved and restored across
migration.  Windows notices due to its self-protection mechanisms,
and is very upset about it (blue screen of death).
