Title:
  kvm fails to boot GNU Hurd kernels with 4.4 Xenial kernel

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Since 4.4, I have not been able to boot GNU Hurd Kernels using KVM
  QEMU. I tracked this regression down to commit e8dd2d2d641c ("Silence
  compiler warning in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c", 2015-09-06)

  This has been recently fixed with upstream commit
  0c1d77f4ba5cc9c05a29adca3d6466cdf4969b70:

  KVM: x86: fix conversion of addresses to linear in 32-bit protected
  mode

  Commit e8dd2d2d641c ("Silence compiler warning in arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c",
  2015-09-06) broke boot of the Hurd.  The bug is that the "default:"
  case actually could modify "la", but after the patch this change is
  not reflected in *linear.

  The bug is visible whenever a non-zero segment base causes the linear
  address to wrap around the 4GB mark.
