Old GCCs (4.6.3 at least), aren't able to follow the logic in
__kvmhv_copy_tofrom_guest_radix() and warn that old_pid is used
uninitialized:
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_radix.c:75:3: error: 'old_pid' may be
used uninitialized in this function
The logic is OK, we only use old_pid if quadrant == 1, and in that
case it has definitely be initialised, eg:
if (quadrant == 1) {
old_pid = mfspr(SPRN_PID);
...
if (quadrant == 1 && pid != old_pid)
mtspr(SPRN_PID, old_pid);
Annotate it to fix the error.
