Subject: [PATCH 3.16 293/305] KVM: x86: Add MSR_AMD64_DC_CFG to the list
 of ignored MSRs

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

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

From: Ladi Prosek <lprosek@...hat.com>

commit 405a353a0e20d09090ad96147da6afad9b0ce056 upstream.

Hyper-V writes 0x800000000000 to MSR_AMD64_DC_CFG when running on AMD CPUs
as recommended in erratum 383, analogous to our svm_init_erratum_383.

By ignoring the MSR, this patch enables running Hyper-V in L1 on AMD.
