Not sure you really need the check here. If the feature isn't available
in the hardware, then it won't be advertised in the CPUID bits to the
guest, so the guest shouldn't try to write to the msr. If it does, it
will #GP. So I would think it could be set all the time to not be
intercepted, no?

Should this also be in svm.c or as common code in x86.c?

Same comment here as in svm.c, is the feature check necessary?

Thanks,
