      lguest: fix crash on vmlinux images · 88df781a
      Matias Zabaljauregui authored 
      Typical message: 'lguest: unhandled trap 6 at 0x418726 (0x0)'

vmlinux guests were broken by 4cd8b5e2
'lguest: use KVM hypercalls', which rewrites guest text from kvm hypercalls
to trap 31.

The Launcher mmaps the kernel image.  The Guest executes and
immediately faults in the first text page (read-only).  Then it hits a
hypercall, and we rewrite that hypercall, causing a copy-on-write.
But the Guest pagetables still refer to the old page: we fault again,
but as Host we see the hypercall already rewritten, and pass the fault
back to the Guest.  The Guest hasn't set up an IDT yet, so we kill it.

This doesn't happen with bzImages: they unpack themselves and so the
text pages are already read-write.

      Remove 'recurse into child resources' logic from 'reserve_region_with_split()' · ff54250a
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This function is not actually used right now, since the original use
case for it was done with insert_resource_expand_to_fit() instead.

However, we now have another usage case that wants to basically do a
"reserve IO resource, splitting around existing resources", however that
one doesn't actually want the "recurse into the conflicting resource"
logic at all.

And since recursing into the conflicting resource was the most complex
part, and isn't wanted, just remove it.  Maybe we'll some day want both
versions, but we can just resurrect the logic then.
