Sean Christopherson 5dc1f044a3 KVM: VMX: don't force CR4.PAE/PSE for unrestricted guest
CR4.PAE - Unrestricted guest can only be enabled when EPT is
enabled, and vmx_set_cr4() clears hardware CR0.PAE based on
the guest's CR4.PAE, i.e. CR4.PAE always follows the guest's
value when unrestricted guest is enabled.

CR4.PSE - Unrestricted guest no longer uses the identity mapped
IA32 page tables since CR0.PG can be cleared in hardware, thus
there is no need to set CR4.PSE when paging is disabled in the
guest (and EPT is enabled).

Define KVM_VM_CR4_ALWAYS_ON_UNRESTRICTED_GUEST (to X86_CR4_VMXE)
and use it in lieu of KVM_*MODE_VM_CR4_ALWAYS_ON when unrestricted
guest is enabled, which removes the forcing of CR4.PAE.

Skip the manipulation of CR4.PAE/PSE for EPT when unrestricted
guest is enabled, as CR4.PAE isn't forced and so doesn't need to
be manually cleared, and CR4.PSE does not need to be set when
paging is disabled since the identity mapped IA32 page tables
are not used.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
