Please consider patches I did not comment on as

Overall, I'm quite happy with the code. It's a very clean implementation 
of a KVM target.

The only major nit I have is the guest address space read: I don't think 
we should pull in code that we know allows user space to DOS the kernel. 
For that, we need to find an alternative. Either you implement a 
software page table walker and resolve VAs manually or you find a way to 
ensure that *any* exception taken during the read does not affect 
general code execution.


Thanks,

Alex
