Using CPUID data can be useful for the processor compatibility check, but that's it. Using it to compute guest-reserved bits can have both false positives (such as LA57 and UMIP which we are already handling) and false negatives: in particular, with this patch we don't allow anymore a KVM guest to set CR4.PKE when CR4.PKE is clear on the host.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
