In addition to CVE-2010-3881, some versions of the Linux kernel
forgot to initialize the kvm_vcpu_events.interrupt.pad field before

briefly checked, linux-2.6.33/34.y are affected, linux-2.6/.31/.32.y
are not.

Is there a fix for this in the upstream kernels?  How about kernels
greater than .35?

The upstream kernel and .35.y onwards are not affected.

Thanks, Eugene
