Subject[PATCH 35/47] KVM: ignore AMDs HWCR register access to set the FFDIS bit
Date
From: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com>

Linux tries to disable the flush filter on all AMD K8 CPUs. Since KVM
does not handle the needed MSR, the injected #GP will panic the Linux
kernel. Ignore setting of the HWCR.FFDIS bit in this MSR to let Linux
boot with an AMD K8 family guest CPU.
