Subject: kvm: x86: don't kill guest on unknown exit reason
From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2bc19dc3754fc066c43799659f0d848631c44cfe upstream.
KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN is a kvm bug, we don't really know whether it was
triggered by a priveledged application. Let's not kill the guest: WARN
and inject #UD instead.
