[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/MCE: correct struct mcinfo_extended for compat guests



The use of any kind of pointers in the public interface is wrong,
including dimensioning arrays based on the size of pointers. The least
bad option of addressing the issue looks to be to pin down the number
that the (64-bit) hypervisor has used anyway (even when passing 
information to compat but privileged guests). There aren't actual
instantiations of the structure apart from ones allocated dynamically
out of struct mc_info's mi_data[], which is entirely controlled by the
hypervisor.
