3.12.0-rc5-kvm+ #9 Not tainted
-------------------------------

include/linux/kvm_host.h:473 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
1 lock held by qemu-system-ppc/4831:

To fix this, we take the SRCU read lock around the kvmppc_rtas_hcall()
call.
