This should also include bits 0, 2 and 6. Feel free to add #defines for
them in cpuid.c if x86 maintainers do not want them in cpufeatures.h.

There should also be something like:

if (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC))
kvm_cpu_cap_set(CPUID_8000_0021_EAX, F(AMD_LFENCE_RDTSC));
if (!static_cpu_has_bug(X86_BUG_NULL_SEG))
kvm_cpu_cap_set(CPUID_8000_0021_EAX, F(NSCB);

so that...

... these five lines become simply

cpuid_entry_override(entry, CPUID_8000_0021_EAX);

In the end these should be two patches:

- kvm, x86: use CPU capabilities for CPUID[0x80000021].EAX
- kvm, x86: support AMD automatic IBRS

Thanks,
