The routine ar_translation() is called by get_vcpu_asce(), which is called by both the instruction intercept path (where the access registers had been loaded with the guest's values), and the MEM_OP ioctl (which hadn't). This means that any ALET the guest expects to be used would be ignored. Furthermore, the logic in ar_translation() will store the contents of the access registers back to the KVM_RUN struct. This unexpected change of AR values can lead to problems after invoking the MEM_OP, for example an ALET Specification Exception. Fix this by swapping the host/guest access registers around the MEM_OP ioctl, in the same way that the KVM_RUN ioctl does with sync_regs()/store_regs(). The full register swap isn't needed here, since only the access registers are used in this interface.
