    KVM: x86: Add BUILD_BUG_ON() to detect bad usage of "scattered" flags · c4690d01

    Add a compile-time assert in the SF() macro to detect improper usage,
    i.e. to detect passing in an X86_FEATURE_* flag that isn't actually
    scattered by the kernel.  Upcoming feature flags will be 100% KVM-only
    and will have X86_FEATURE_* macros that point at a kvm_only_cpuid_leafs
    word, not a kernel-defined word.  Using SF() and thus boot_cpu_has() for
    such feature flags would access memory beyond x86_capability[NCAPINTS]
    and at best incorrectly hide a feature, and at worst leak kernel state to
    userspace.
