[Qemu-devel] [PATCH STABLE 7/7] kvm: work around supported cpuid ioctl() brokenness

[Glauber Costa]

From: Mark McLoughlin <address@hidden>

KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID has been known to fail to return -E2BIG
when it runs out of entries. Detect this by always trying again
with a bigger table if the ioctl() fills the table.
