Doc Text:
After applying the fix for security issue CVE-2016-3712, the installation of certain guests on Red Hat Enterprise Linux was not possible due to unmodifiable registers. This update introduces a new register set to be used instead of vga registers in these guests. As a result, the vga registers no longer cause the guest installation to fail.
