On a system without KVM_COMPAT, we prevent IOCTLs from being issued by a compat task. Although this prevents most silly things from happening, it can still confuse a 32bit userspace that is able to open the kvm device (the qemu test suite seems to be pretty mad with this behaviour). Take a more radical approach and return a -ENODEV to the compat task.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
