[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] hd-geometry.c/s390: Disable geometry translation

[Christian Borntraeger]

From: Einar Lueck <address@hidden>

This patch disables the translation of geometry information read from
disks on s390. On s390 such translations lead to wrong geometries being
advertized to the guest because there is no entity doing these kinds
of translation on this architecture.
