  "It's mostly small bugfixes and cleanups, mostly around x86 nested
   virtualization.  One important change, not related to nested
   virtualization, is that the ability for the guest kernel to trap
   CPUID instructions (in Linux that's the ARCH_SET_CPUID arch_prctl) is
   now masked by default.  This is because the feature is detected
   through an MSR; a very bad idea that Intel seems to like more and
   more.  Some applications choke if the other fields of that MSR are
   not initialized as on real hardware, hence we have to disable the
   whole MSR by default, as was the case before Linux 4.12."

7.14 KVM_CAP_MSR_PLATFORM_INFO
Architectures: x86
Parameters: args[0] whether feature should be enabled or not
With this capability, a guest may read the MSR_PLATFORM_INFO MSR. Otherwise,
a #GP would be raised when the guest tries to access. Currently, this
capability does not enable write permissions of this MSR for the guest.
