Sean Christopherson 550ba57faa KVM: VMX: Drop unnecessary vmx_fb_clear_ctrl_available "cache"
Now that KVM snapshots the host's MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES, drop the
similar snapshot/cache of whether or not KVM is allowed to manipulate
MSR_IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL.FB_CLEAR_DIS.  The motivation for the cache was
presumably to avoid the RDMSR, e.g. boot_cpu_has_bug() is quite cheap, and
modifying the vCPU's MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES is an infrequent option
and a relatively slow path.

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 Restructured Text 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.
