Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: x86: Advertise EferLmsleUnsupported to userspace
CPUID.80000008H:EBX.EferLmsleUnsupported[bit 20] is a defeature
bit. When this bit is clear, EFER.LMSLE is supported. When this bit is
set, EFER.LMLSE is unsupported. KVM has never supported EFER.LMSLE, so
it cannot support a 0-setting of this bit.
Pass through the bit in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to advertise the
unavailability of EFER.LMSLE to userspace.
Signed-off-by: Jim Mattson <jmattson@...gle.com>

v1 -> v2:
Pass through the bit from hardware, rather than forcing it to be set.
