[ Upstream commit 51776043afa415435c7e4636204fbe4f7edc4501 ]
This ioctl is obsolete (it was used by Xenner as far as I know) but still let's not break it gratuitously... Its handler is copying directly into struct kvm. Go through a bounce buffer instead, with the added benefit that we can actually do something useful with the flags argument---the previous code was exiting with -EINVAL but still doing the copy.
This technically is a userspace ABI breakage, but since no one should be using the ioctl, it's a good occasion to see if someone actually complains.
