According to Intel extended feature disable (XFD) spec, the sub-function i
(i > 1) of CPUID function 0DH enumerates "details for state component i.
ECX[2] enumerates support for XFD support for this state component."

If KVM does not report F(XFD) feature (e.g. due to CONFIG_X86_64),
then the corresponding XFD support for any state component i
should also be removed. Translate this dependency into KVM terms.

Fixes: 690a757d610e ("kvm: x86: Add CPUID support for Intel AMX")

Generally this is something that is left to userspace.  Apart from the 
usecase of "call KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID and pass it to KVM_SET_CPUID2", 
userspace should know what any changed bits mean.

I totally agree that setting the appropriate CPUID bits for a feature is a user 
space thing.

But this patch is more focused on fixing a different type of problem, which is
that the capabilities exposed by KVM should not *contradict each other* :

	a user space may be confused with the current code base :
	- why KVM does not have F(XFD) feature (MSR_IA32_XFD and XFD_ERR non-exit),
	- but KVM reports XFD support for state component i individually;

This is like KVM reporting PEBS when no PMU capacity is reported (due to module 
param).

Does this clarification help ?

Thanks,
Like Xu

Got it.  Yeah, the patch makes sense for the sake of CONFIG_X86_64.
