Advertise support for WRMSRNS (WRMSR non-serializing) to userspace if the instruction is supported by the underlying CPU. From a virtualization perspective, the only difference between WRMSRNS and WRMSR is that VM-Exits due to WRMSRNS set EXIT_QUALIFICATION to '1'. WRMSRNS doesn't require a new enabling control, shares the same basic exit reason, and behaves the same as WRMSR with respect to MSR interception. WRMSR and WRMSRNS use the same basic exit reason (see Appendix C). For WRMSR, the exit qualification is 0, while for WRMSRNS it is 1. Don't do anything different when emulating WRMSRNS vs. WRMSR, as KVM can't do anything less, i.e. can't make emulation non-serializing. The motivation for the guest to use WRMSRNS instead of WRMSR is to avoid immediately serializing the CPU when the necessary serialization is guaranteed by some other mechanism, i.e. WRMSRNS being fully serializing isn't guest-visible, just less performant.

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 reStructuredText 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.
