Paolo Bonzini f751d8eac1 KVM: x86: work around QEMU issue with synthetic CPUID leaves
Synthesizing AMD leaves up to 0x80000021 caused problems with QEMU,
which assumes the *host* CPUID[0x80000000].EAX is higher or equal
to what KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID reports.

This causes QEMU to issue bogus host CPUIDs when preparing the input
to KVM_SET_CPUID2.  It can even get into an infinite loop, which is
only terminated by an abort():

   cpuid_data is full, no space for cpuid(eax:0x8000001d,ecx:0x3e)

To work around this, only synthesize those leaves if 0x8000001d exists
on the host.  The synthetic 0x80000021 leaf is mostly useful on Zen2,
which satisfies the condition.

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.
