Rename the WRMSRNS instruction opcode macro so that it doesn't collide
with X86_FEATURE_WRMSRNS when using token pasting to generate references
to X86_FEATURE_WRMSRNS. KVM heavily uses token pasting to generate KVM's
set of support feature bits, and adding WRMSRNS support in KVM will run
will run afoul of the opcode macro.
arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c:719:37: error: pasting "X86_FEATURE_" and "" "" does not
give a valid preprocessing token
719 | u32 __leaf = __feature_leaf(X86_FEATURE_##name); \
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
KVM has worked around one such collision in the past by #undef'ing the
problematic macro in order to avoid blocking a KVM rework, but such games
are generally undesirable, e.g. requires bleeding macro details into KVM,
risks weird behavior if what KVM is #undef'ing changes, etc.

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 reStructuredText 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.
