    Subject[PATCH 35/47] KVM: ignore AMDs HWCR register access to set the FFDIS bit
    Date
    From: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com>

    Linux tries to disable the flush filter on all AMD K8 CPUs. Since KVM
    does not handle the needed MSR, the injected #GP will panic the Linux
    kernel. Ignore setting of the HWCR.FFDIS bit in this MSR to let Linux
    boot with an AMD K8 family guest CPU.
