4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c29016cf41fe9fa994a5ecca607cf5f1cd98801e upstream. iopl(3) is supposed to work if iopl is already 3, even if unprivileged. This didn't work right on Xen PV. Fix it.
