Correct the spec_ctrl field in the VMCB save area based on the AMD
Programmer's manual.
Originally, the spec_ctrl was listed as u32 with 4 bytes of reserved
area. The AMD Programmer's Manual now lists the spec_ctrl as 8 bytes
in VMCB save area.
The Public Processor Programming reference for Genoa, shows SPEC_CTRL
as 64b register, but the AMD Programmer's Manual lists SPEC_CTRL as
32b register. This discrepancy will be cleaned up in next revision of
the AMD Programmer's Manual.
Since remaining bits above bit 7 are reserved bits in SPEC_CTRL MSR
and thus, not being used, the spec_ctrl added as u32 in the VMCB save
area is currently not an issue.

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.
