Hi,

it may seem obvious struct cpu_user_regs is carefully read, but NaT bits
are not correctly saved and restored.  Here is a small program (based on
ia64regcheck) which checks this.

This program works well on bare linux but fails in dom0.  I have not run it
in domU or domVti.
Run as many processes as you have vcpus.

I plan to reorder fields in struct cpu_user_regs to fix the bug (and to
make eml_unat more usable).

Tristan.
