Drat.  For all my talk about KVM selftests not caring about kernel headers, that's
obviously not entirely true.  Most of the selftests code is standalone, e.g. CR4
and xfeature bits are all manually defined.  But redefining the myriad MSR #defines
does seem like a complete waste of time and effort.

Unnecessary newline, i.e. don't wrap metadata tags.

Paolo, can you grab this for 6.12-rc7?  And fixup the Fixes.  I'll mention this
again in the pull request I have planned for later today.
