From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

patch e3d2697669abbe26c08dc9b95e2a71c634d096ed in mainline.

The kernel's copy of struct vcpu_register_vcpu_info was out of date,
at best causing the hypercall to fail and the guest kernel to fall
back to the old mechanism, or worse, causing random memory corruption.
