3.13.11-ckt23 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Rusty Russell <rusty at rustcorp.com.au>

commit 83a35114d0e4583e6b0ca39502e68b6a92e2910c upstream.

This bug has been there since day 1; addresses in the top guest physical
page weren't considered valid.  You could map that page (the check in
check_gpte() is correct), but if a guest tried to put a pagetable there
we'd check that address manually when walking it, and kill the guest.
