Ah, I forgot to change this description. And thank you pointing out the
typo.

The answer is no.
Based on this patch, guest cannot detect a forced fatal mode since no
SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT_STICKY bit implemented. Guest thinks it can set/clear
the bit but kvm makes the hardware bit forced set when vcpu is running.

BTW, even without SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT_STICKY bit, there is a way for guest
to detect it's forced on that rdmsr() after wrmsr(..., SLD bit) to check
whether the bit is cleared. But this solution is not architectural, so
we'll try to push the way to add SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT_STICKY/LOCK bit.
