[PATCH v3 6/6] KVM: SVM: Treat DEBUGCTL[5:2] as reserved

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Stop ignoring DEBUGCTL[5:2] on AMD CPUs and instead treat them as reserved.
KVM has never properly virtualized AMD's legacy PBi bits, but did allow
the guest (and host userspace) to set the bits.  To avoid breaking guests
when running on CPUs with BusLockTrap, which redefined bit 2 to BLCKDB and
made bits 5:3 reserved, a previous KVM change ignored bits 5:3, e.g. so
that legacy guest software wouldn't inadvertently enable BusLockTrap or
hit a VMRUN failure due to setting reserved.

To allow for virtualizing BusLockTrap and whatever future features may use
bits 5:3, treat bits 5:2 as reserved (and hope that doing so doesn't break
any existing guests).
