Subject: KVM: Emulate multibyte NOP
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 103f98ea64a1b0a67d8a1b23070b4db3533db2b8 upstream.
This is encountered when booting RHEL5.9 64-bit. There is another bug
after this one that is not a simple emulation failure, but this one lets
the boot proceed a bit.
