guest hanging on rc1

Hi Paolo,

so I installed an old SUSE guest (SLES10, kernel is 2.6.16 + enterprise
stuff) and it was booting and all was fine but this week not anymore.

Host kernel is 3.19-rc1 + tip/master. I did miss some kvm config options
initially so I did

$ make kvmconfig

and it added those (see diff at the end).

Now, when I go to the monitor and do

(qemu) p $eip
0xffffffff80120e7e

This address is in kvm_register_clock() on the guest kernel:

right after we've written the 0x12 MSR, i.e. MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME.

So something broke somewhere and the guest won't boot anymore. Even if I
try to boot the iso image which I used to install it, its kernel hangs
there too. Not the same VA though:

(qemu) p $eip
0xffffffff8011b172
(qemu)

but the exact same place:

(qemu) x/20i 0xffffffff8011b150
0xffffffff8011b150:  je     0x7fff8011b167
0xffffffff8011b152:  mov    %rdi,%r8
0xffffffff8011b155:  mov    %ebp,%ecx
0xffffffff8011b157:  xor    %esi,%esi
0xffffffff8011b159:  mov    $0xffffffff802ee1ac,%rdi
0xffffffff8011b160:  xor    %eax,%eax
0xffffffff8011b162:  callq  0x7fff8012a562
0xffffffff8011b167:  mov    $0x12,%ecx
0xffffffff8011b16c:  mov    %ebp,%eax
0xffffffff8011b16e:  mov    %ebx,%edx
0xffffffff8011b170:  wrmsr  
0xffffffff8011b172:  xor    %eax,%eax			<--- rIP
0xffffffff8011b174:  pop    %rdx
0xffffffff8011b175:  pop    %rbx
0xffffffff8011b176:  pop    %rbp
0xffffffff8011b177:  retq   
0xffffffff8011b178:  push   %rbp
0xffffffff8011b179:  mov    %edi,%ebp
0xffffffff8011b17b:  push   %rbx
0xffffffff8011b17c:  sub    $0x8,%rsp

Right after the MSR write.

Any ideas how to debug this further? :)

Thanks.
