Rather than carry VNMI and AMD_VNMI, what if we redefine VNMI to use AMD's real
CPUID bit?  The synthetic flag exists purely so that the converion to VMX feature
flags didn't break /proc/cpuinfo.  X86_FEATURE_VNMI isn't consumed by the kernel,
and if that changes, having a common flag might actually be a good thing, e.g.
would allow common KVM code to query vNMI support without needing VMX vs. SVM
hooks.

I.e. drop this in

Subject: [PATCH] x86/cpufeatures: Redefine synthetic virtual NMI bit as AMD's
 "real" vNMI

The existing X86_FEATURE_VNMI is a synthetic feature flag that exists
purely to maintain /proc/cpuinfo's ABI, the "real" Intel vNMI feature flag
is tracked as VMX_FEATURE_VIRTUAL_NMIS, as the feature is enumerated
through VMX MSRs, not CPUID.

AMD is also gaining virtual NMI support, but in true VMX vs. SVM form,
enumerates support through CPUID, i.e. wants to add real feature flag for
vNMI.

Redefine the syntheic X86_FEATURE_VNMI to AMD's real CPUID bit to avoid
having both X86_FEATURE_VNMI and e.g. X86_FEATURE_AMD_VNMI.
