Jim Mattson eefe5e6682 KVM: x86: Advertise CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=2):EDX[5:0] to userspace
The low five bits {INTEL_PSFD, IPRED_CTRL, RRSBA_CTRL, DDPD_U, BHI_CTRL}
advertise the availability of specific bits in IA32_SPEC_CTRL. Since KVM
dynamically determines the legal IA32_SPEC_CTRL bits for the underlying
hardware, the hard work has already been done. Just let userspace know
that a guest can use these IA32_SPEC_CTRL bits.

The sixth bit (MCDT_NO) states that the processor does not exhibit MXCSR
Configuration Dependent Timing (MCDT) behavior. This is an inherent
property of the physical processor that is inherited by the virtual
CPU. Pass that information on to userspace.

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.
