Subject: KVM: fix lockup on 32-bit intel hosts with nx disabled in the bios
From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Intel hosts, without long mode, and with nx support disabled in the bios
have an efer that is readable but not writable. This causes a lockup on
switch to guest mode (even though it should exit with reason 34 according
to the documentation).
