Subject: [PATCH 3.2 151/152] KVM: x86 emulator: reject SYSENTER in
 compatibility mode on AMD guests

3.2.67-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Avi Kivity <avi@...hat.com>

commit 1a18a69b762374c423305772500f36eb8984ca52 upstream.

If the guest thinks it's an AMD, it will not have prepared the SYSENTER MSRs,
and if the guest executes SYSENTER in compatibility mode, it will fails.

Detect this condition and #UD instead, like the spec says.
