KVM: disable writeback for 0x0f 0x01 instructions.
0x0f 0x01 instructions (ie lgdt, lidt, smsw, lmsw and invlpg) does not use writeback. This patch set no_wb=1 when emulating those instructions. This fixes a regression booting the FreeBSD kernel on AMD. Signed-off-by: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
