Subject: kvm/svm: Setup MCG_CAP on AMD properly

From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 74f169090b6f36b867c9df0454366dd9af6f62d1 ]

MCG_CAP[63:9] bits are reserved on AMD. However, on an AMD guest, this MSR returns 0x100010a. More specifically, bit 24 is set, which is simply wrong. That bit is MCG_SER_P and is present only on Intel. Thus, clean up the reserved bits in order not to confuse guests.
