Subject: [PATCH] i386: avoid null pointer dereference

b24b7f
    Hello,
b24b7f
b24b7f
A null pointer dereference issue was reported by Mr Ling Liu, CC'd here. It
b24b7f
occurs while doing I/O port write operations via hmp interface. In that,
b24b7f
'current_cpu' remains null as it is not called from cpu_exec loop, which
b24b7f
results in the said issue.

Below is a proposed (tested)patch to fix this issue; Does it look okay?

When I/O port write operation is called from hmp interface,
b24b7f
'current_cpu' remains null, as it is not called from cpu_exec()
b24b7f
loop. This leads to a null pointer dereference in vapic_write
b24b7f
routine. Add check to avoid it.
