Add support to allow guests to set the new CR4 control bit for LAM and add
implementation to get untagged address for supervisor pointers.
LAM modifies the canonicality check applied to 64-bit linear addresses for
data accesses, allowing software to use of the untranslated address bits for
metadata and masks the metadata bits before using them as linear addresses
to access memory. LAM uses CR4.LAM_SUP (bit 28) to configure and enable LAM
for supervisor pointers. It also changes VMENTER to allow the bit to be set
in VMCS's HOST_CR4 and GUEST_CR4 to support virtualization. Note CR4.LAM_SUP
is allowed to be set even not in 64-bit mode, but it will not take effect
since LAM only applies to 64-bit linear addresses.
Move CR4.LAM_SUP out of CR4_RESERVED_BITS, its reservation depends on vcpu
supporting LAM or not. Leave it intercepted to prevent guest from setting
the bit if LAM is not exposed to guest as well as to avoid vmread every time
when KVM fetches its value, with the expectation that guest won't toggle the
bit frequently.
Set CR4.LAM_SUP bit in the emulated IA32_VMX_CR4_FIXED1 MSR for guests to
allow guests to enable LAM for supervisor pointers in nested VMX operation.
Hardware is not required to do TLB flush when CR4.LAM_SUP toggled, KVM
doesn't need to emulate TLB flush based on it. There's no other features
or vmx_exec_controls connection, and no other code needed in
{kvm,vmx}_set_cr4().
Skip address untag for instruction fetches (which includes branch targets),
operand of INVLPG instructions, and implicit system accesses, all of which
are not subject to untagging. Note, get_untagged_addr() isn't invoked for
implicit system accesses as there is no reason to do so, but check the
flag anyways for documentation purposes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
