KVM: x86: work around infinite loop in microcode when #AC is delivered
commit 54a20552e1eae07aa240fa370a0293e006b5faed upstream. It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite stream of "alignment check" (#AC) exceptions. This causes the microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never receives another interrupt. The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the effects (CVE-2015-5307).
