Hi all,

I've observed a guest hang after putting a little stress testing on
it. It basically hangs in ~10 secs after running several trinity
instances inside a KVM tools guest.

The hang is easy to describe and reproduce:

1. No userspace exits observed
2. kvm_stat looks as follows (with all other fields at 0):

 kvm_entry                                  3631869   11819
 kvm_apic_accept_irq                        1078688   11819
 kvm_exit                                   3631844   11819

I've bisected it down to:

9b72d3b07dd99ac8ab2b84de5004a295af460536 is the first bad commit

    KVM guest: make kvm_para_available() check hypervisor bit reading cpuid leaf

    This cpuid range does not exist on real HW and Intel spec says that
    "Information returned for highest basic information leaf" will be
    returned. Not very well defined.
