commit e1d38b63 upstream. Export the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR bit MDS_NO=0 to guests on TSX Async Abort(TAA) affected hosts that have TSX enabled and updated microcode. This is required so that the guests don't complain, "Vulnerable: Clear CPU buffers attempted, no microcode" when the host has the updated microcode to clear CPU buffers. Microcode update also adds support for MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL which is enumerated by the ARCH_CAP_TSX_CTRL bit in IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR. Guests can't do this check themselves when the ARCH_CAP_TSX_CTRL bit is not exported to the guests. In this case export MDS_NO=0 to the guests. When guests have CPUID.MD_CLEAR=1, they deploy MDS mitigation which also mitigates TAA.
