[PATCHv6 05/16] x86/kexec: Keep CR4.MCE set during kexec for TDX guest

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Wed Jan 24 2024 - 08:02:03 EST


TDX guests are not allowed to clear CR4.MCE. Attempt to clear it leads
to #VE.

Use alternatives to keep the flag during kexec for TDX guests.

The change doesn't affect non-TDX-guest environments.
