    SubjectRe: [PATCH v8 2/8] x86/cpu, kvm: Move open-coded cpuid leaf 0x80000021 EAX bit propagation code
    Nit, shortlog for this should be

    KVM: x86:

    since this touches only KVM code.

    Huh, this wasn't why I was expecting, but this is better than what I had in mind.
    Moving everything all at once wouldn't work well because of the kernel dependencies.

    One more nit/request. Can you add a blurb about the synthetic features? That
    part is easy to miss and will be confusing after the fact. E.g.

    Note, LFENCE_RDTSC and "NULL selector clears base" are is currently
    synthetic, Linux-defined feature flags as Linux tracking of the features
    predates AMD's definition. Keep the manual propagation of the flags from
    their synthetic counterparts until the kernel fully converts to AMD's
    definition, otherwise KVM would stop synthesizing the flags as intended.

    Uber nit, to make this a bit closer to pure code movement, this should include
    BIT(2) as well. Mainly because BIT(6) is also kept even though it too may be
    synthesized by KVM.
