    x86: Expose SERIALIZE for supported cpuid · 43bd9ef4
    Paolo Bonzini authored
    The SERIALIZE instruction is supported by Tntel processors, like
    Sapphire Rapids.  SERIALIZE is a faster serializing instruction which
    does not modify registers, arithmetic flags or memory, will not cause VM
    exit. It's availability is indicated by CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 14].
    
    Expose it in KVM supported CPUID.  This way, KVM could pass this
    information to guests and they can make use of these features accordingly.
