3.13.11.8 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger at de.ibm.com>
commit 614a80e474b227cace52fd6e3c790554db8a396e upstream.
In the early days, we had some special handling for the
KVM_EXIT_S390_SIEIC exit, but this was gone in 2009 with commit
d7b0b5eb3000 (KVM: s390: Make psw available on all exits, not
just a subset).
Now this switch statement is just a sanity check for userspace
not messing with the kvm_run structure. Unfortunately, this
allows userspace to trigger a kernel BUG. Let's just remove
this switch statement.
