KVM: ignore AMDs HWCR register access to set the FFDIS bit
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. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
