The CPUID flag ARCH_CAPABILITIES is unconditioinally exposed to host
userspace for all x86 hosts, i.e. KVM advertises ARCH_CAPABILITIES
regardless of hardware support under the pretense that KVM fully
emulates MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES. Unfortunately, only VMX hosts
handle accesses to MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (despite KVM_GET_MSRS
also reporting MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES for all hosts).
Move the MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES handling to common x86 code so
that it's emulated on AMD hosts.
Fixes: 1eaafe91a0 ("kvm: x86: IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES is always supported")

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.
