Mark BTF as reserved in DEBUGCTL on AMD, as KVM doesn't actually support BTF, and fully enabling BTF virtualization is non-trivial due to interactions with the emulator, guest_debug, #DB interception, nested SVM, etc. Don't inject #GP if the guest attempts to set BTF, as there's no way to communicate lack of support to the guest, and instead suppress the flag and treat the WRMSR as (partially) unsupported. In short, make KVM behave the same on AMD and Intel (VMX already squashes BTF). Note, due to other bugs in KVM's handling of DEBUGCTL, the only way BTF has "worked" in any capacity is if the guest simultaneously enables LBRs.

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.
