+Subject: [PATCH] i386: avoid null pointer dereference
+
+    Hello,
+
+A null pointer dereference issue was reported by Mr Ling Liu, CC'd here. It
+occurs while doing I/O port write operations via hmp interface. In that,
+'current_cpu' remains null as it is not called from cpu_exec loop, which
+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,
+'current_cpu' remains null, as it is not called from cpu_exec()
+loop. This leads to a null pointer dereference in vapic_write
+routine. Add check to avoid it.
