Subject: [PATCH v4 13/19] KVM: x86: Mark CR4.FRED as not reserved

From: Xin Li <xin3.li@...el.com>

The CR4.FRED bit, i.e., CR4[32], is no longer a reserved bit when
guest cpu cap has FRED, i.e.,
  1) All of FRED KVM support is in place.
  2) Guest enumerates FRED.

Otherwise it is still a reserved bit.

Change in v4:
* Rebase on top of "guest_cpu_cap".

Change in v3:
* Don't allow CR4.FRED=1 before all of FRED KVM support is in place
  (Sean Christopherson).
