It's already in upstream KVM

    KVM: x86: reset RVI upon system reset
    
    A bug was reported as follows: when running Windows 7 32-bit guests on qemu-kvm,
    sometimes the guests run into blue screen during reboot. The problem was that a
    guest's RVI was not cleared when it rebooted. This patch has fixed the problem.
