  This patch series provides fixes to the TSC_AUX virtualization support
and an optimization to reduce the number of WRMSRs to TSC_AUX when
it is virtualized.

---

Changes since v1:
- Move TSC_AUX virtualization support out of init_vmcb_after_set_cpuid()
  path and into the vcpu_after_set_cpuid() path
- Add an additional patch to properly set or clear intercepts based
  on TSC_AUX virtualization requirements
- Simplify the TSC_AUX virtualization optimization to set the host save
  area TSC_AUX value once during svm_hardware_enable().
- Since the TSC_AUX virtualization can't be disabled for an SEV-ES guest,
  eliminate the "v_tsc_aux" flag and check against the host feature and
  type of guest, directly.

Patches based on https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git master
and commit:
  7c7cce2cf7ee ("Merge tag 'kvmarm-fixes-6.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD")

Queued, thanks.  The part that stood out in patch 2 is the removal of
svm_clr_intercept(), which also applies when the initialization is done
in the wrong place.  Either way, svm_clr_intercept() is always going
to be called by svm_recalc_instruction_intercepts() if guest has the
RDTSC bit in its CPUID.

So I extracted that into a separate patch and squashed the rest of
patch 2 into patch 1.

Works for me. Thanks, Paolo!
