This bug has been there since day 1; addresses in the top guest physical
page weren't considered valid.  You could map that page (the check in
check_gpte() is correct), but if a guest tried to put a pagetable there
we'd check that address manually when walking it, and kill the guest.

Since commit 8e7094694396 ("lguest: add a dummy PCI host bridge.")
lguest uses PCI, but it needs you to frob the ports directly.

Lguest's "iret" is non-atomic, as it needs to restore the interrupt
state before the real iret (the guest can't actually suppress
interrupts).  For this reason, the host discards an interrupt if it
occurs in this (1-instruction) window.

We can do better, by emulating the iret execution, then immediately
setting up the interrupt handler.  In fact, we don't need to do much,
as emulating the iret and setting up th stack for the interrupt handler
basically cancel each other out.

The last patch reduced our interrupt-suppression region to one address,
so simplify the code somewhat.

Also, remove the obsolete undefined instruction ranges and the comment
which refers to lguest_guest.S instead of head_32.S.

There is a proposed change to the miscdevice's behaviour on open(). Currently
file-&gt;private_data stays NULL, but only because we don't have an open-entry in
struct file_operations.

This may change so that private_data, more consistently, is always set to
struct miscdevice, not only *if* the driver has it's own open() routine and
fops-entry, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/4/939 and commit
94e4fe2cab3d43b3ba7c3f721743006a8c9d913a

In short: If we rely on file-&gt;private_data being NULL, we should ensure
it is NULL ourselves.

Disappointing, as this was kind of neat (especially getting to use RCU
to manage the address -&gt; eventfd mapping).  But now the devices are PCI
handled in userspace, we get rid of both the NOTIFY hypercall and
the interface to connect an eventfd.
