Looks good. I'll post the cr0.wp=0 fixup soon.
Please update x86/access.c in
http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/kvm/kvm-unit-tests.git;a=summary to cover
smep; it should be similar to nx.
Note: in the future, please use git-send-email to post all patches as
one thread. This way, when people post their replies, the thread sticks
together as a unit in the reader rather than breaking up.
