[ 35/82] x86, amd, xen: Avoid NULL pointer paravirt references

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2012-06-08 05:22:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), xen hypervisor x86 · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Juergen Gross

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <redacted>

commit 1ab46fd319bcf1fcd9fb6311727d532b580e4eba upstream.

Stub out MSR methods that aren't actually needed.  This fixes a crash
as Xen Dom0 on AMD Trinity systems.  A bigger patch should be added to
remove the paravirt machinery completely for the methods which
apparently have no users!
