Paolo Bonzini 66336cab35 KVM: x86: add support for emulating UMIP
The User-Mode Instruction Prevention feature present in recent Intel
processor prevents a group of instructions (sgdt, sidt, sldt, smsw, and
str) from being executed with CPL > 0. Otherwise, a general protection
fault is issued.

UMIP instructions in general are also able to trigger vmexits, so we can
actually emulate UMIP on older processors.  This commit sets up the
infrastructure so that kvm-intel.ko and kvm-amd.ko can set the UMIP
feature bit for CPUID even if the feature is not actually available
in hardware.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
