Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] SEV-ES TSC_AUX virtualization fix and optimization

This patch series provides fixes to the TSC_AUX virtualization support
and an optimization to reduce the number of WRMSRs to TSC_AUX when
it is virtualized.

---

Changes since v1:
- Move TSC_AUX virtualization support out of init_vmcb_after_set_cpuid()
  path and into the vcpu_after_set_cpuid() path
- Add an additional patch to properly set or clear intercepts based
  on TSC_AUX virtualization requirements
- Simplify the TSC_AUX virtualization optimization to set the host save
  area TSC_AUX value once during svm_hardware_enable().
- Since the TSC_AUX virtualization can't be disabled for an SEV-ES guest,
  eliminate the "v_tsc_aux" flag and check against the host feature and
  type of guest, directly.

Patches based on https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git master
and commit:
  7c7cce2cf7ee ("Merge tag 'kvmarm-fixes-6.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD")
