Subject: [patch] ia64 vcpu_reset() do not call kmalloc() with irqs disabled
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:43:27 +0000	[thread overview]

Hi,

Here we go again, another case where we were calling kmalloc() through
vcpu_reset() while local interrupts were disabled.

Cheers,
Jes

Restore local irq enabled state before calling kvm_arch_vcpu_init(),
which calls kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL).
