[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Fix vmce addr/misc wrmsr bug

Fix vmce addr/misc wrmsr bug

This patch fix a bug related to wrmsr vmce bank addr/misc
registers, since they are not read-only.

Intel SDM recommanded os mce driver clear bank status/addr/misc.
So guest mce driver may clear addr and misc registers.
Under such case, old vmce wrmsr logic would generate
a #GP fault at guest mce context, and make guest crash.
