Subject: [PATCH 3.2 080/107] KVM: x86: trap AMD MSRs for the TSeg base and
 mask

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

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

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit 3afb1121800128aae9f5722e50097fcf1a9d4d88 upstream.

These have roughly the same purpose as the SMRR, which we do not need
to implement in KVM.  However, Linux accesses MSR_K8_TSEG_ADDR at
boot, which causes problems when running a Xen dom0 under KVM.
Just return 0, meaning that processor protection of SMRAM is not
in effect.
