+Subject: [PATCH] target/i386: add missing bits to CR4_RESERVED_MASK
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Booting Fedora kernels with -cpu max hangs very early in boot. Disabling
+the la57 CPUID bit fixes the problem. git bisect traced the regression to
+
+  commit 213ff024a2f92020290296cb9dc29c2af3d4a221 (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)
+  Author: Lara Lazier <laramglazier@gmail.com>

+
+    target/i386: Added consistency checks for CR4
+
+    All MBZ bits in CR4 must be zero. (APM2 15.5)
+    Added reserved bitmask and added checks in both
+    helper_vmrun and helper_write_crN.

+
+In this commit CR4_RESERVED_MASK is missing CR4_LA57_MASK and
+two others. Adding this lets Fedora kernels boot once again.
