PCID validly depends on LM, as it can be enabled in Long Mode only. INVPCID, otoh, can be used not only without PCID enabled, but also outside of Long Mode altogether. In both cases its functionality is simply restricted to PCID 0, which is sort of expected as no other PCID can be activated there. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
