Should we add:

Fixes: c82a5c5c53c5 ("KVM: x86: Do compatibility checks when onlining CPU")

As that commit introduced using raw_smp_processor_id() to get CPU id in
kvm_is_svm_supported() and print the CPU id out in error message?

Since we have made sure __kvm_is_svm_supported() is always performed on a stable
cpu, should we keep using raw_smp_processor_id()?  

It is faster than smp_processor_id() when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, but yes the
latter can help to catch bug.
