On AMD CPUs without ensuring cache consistency, each memory page
reclamation in an SEV guest triggers a call to wbinvd_on_all_cpus(),
thereby affecting the performance of other programs on the host.

Typically, an AMD server may have 128 cores or more, while the SEV guest
might only utilize 8 of these cores. Meanwhile, host can use qemu-affinity
to bind these 8 vCPUs to specific physical CPUs.

Therefore, keeping a record of the physical core numbers each time a vCPU
runs can help avoid flushing the cache for all CPUs every time.

This causes a build failure since kvm is undeclared.

Thanks,
