Hi Marc,

struct kvm_regs is used by userspace to indicate which register gets
accessed by the {GET,SET}_ONE_REG API. But as we're about to refactor
the layout of the in-kernel register structures, we need the kernel to
move away from it.

Let's make kvm_regs userspace only, and let the kernel map it to its 
own
internal representation.

Doesn't this switch statement catch an out of range offset, and a
misaligned offset?

... We still test for those explicitly in the caller. Better safe than 
implicit?
Indeed, this is not supposed to happen at all. Maybe I should just fold
validate_core_offset offset there, and make this NULL value the error
case.

With the reset thing reported by Zenghui and Zengtao on the previous
patch fixed:

(otherwise struct kvm_regs isn't userspace-only!)
Indeed!

Thanks,
