[PATCH v3 1/2] kvm/cpuid: remove GuestPhysBits code.

From: Gerd Hoffmann
Date: Mon Mar 11 2024 - 06:41:34 EST


GuestPhysBits (cpuid leaf 80000008, eax[23:16]) is intended for software
use. Physical CPUs do not set that field. The current code which
propagates the host's GuestPhysBits to the guest's PhysBits does not
make sense. Remove it.
