Jinsong, if this is for upstream QEMU, then the commit message needs
some small improvements:

qemu-kvm is no longer maintained since 1.3 so it should not be occurring
any more.

Please use a prefix of "target-i386: " (the directory name) to signal
where you are changing code, i.e. x86 only.

"bugfix" is not a very telling description of what a patch is doing.

(Up to Paolo and Gleb whether they'll fix it or whether they require a
resend.)

Also please use git-send-email to submit patches and use "PATCH v2" etc.
for submission as top-level patch:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch

One question inline...

Was the fallthrough previously intended? Or is this a second,
unmentioned bugfix?
