Subject: [patch] kvm: fix GFP_KERNEL alloc in atomic section bug
From: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>

KVM does kmalloc() in an atomic section while having preemption disabled via vcpu_load(). Fix this by moving the ->*_msr setup from the vcpu_setup method to the vcpu_create method.

(This is also a small speedup for setting up a vcpu, which can in theory be more frequent than the vcpu_create method).

Applied, thanks.
