[PATCH 28/30] KVM: is_long_mode() should check for EFER.LMA

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Fri Feb 27 2009 - 20:52:02 EST


From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

is_long_mode currently checks the LongModeEnable bit in
EFER instead of the LongModeActive bit. This is wrong, but
we survived this till now since it wasn't triggered. This
breaks guests that go from long mode to compatibility mode.

This is noticed on a solaris guest and fixes bug #1842160
