kvm_get_dirty_log() is a helper function for kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() which
is currently used by ia64 and ppc and the following is what it is doing:

  - sanity checks
  - bitmap scan to check if the slot is dirty
  - copy_to_user()

Considering the fact that x86 is not using this anymore and sanity checks must
be done before kvm_ia64_sync_dirty_log(), we can say that this is not working
for code sharing effectively. So we just remove this.
This patch plus 4/4 broke dirty bitmap updating on PPC. I didn't get around to track down why, but I figured you should now. Is there any way to get you a PPC development box? A simple G4 or G5 should be 200$ on ebay by now :).

Best to revert these patches and re-apply when fixed.
