3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gleb Natapov <gleb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 03617c188f41eeeb4223c919ee7e66e5a114f2c6 upstream. Some userspaces do not preserve unusable property. Since usable segment has to be present according to VMX spec we can use present property to amend userspace bug by making unusable segment always nonpresent. vmx_segment_access_rights() already marks nonpresent segment as unusable.
