[PATCH] KVM: x86: Remove AMX-TF32 enumeration

[Chang S. Bae]

AMX-TF32 enumeration was added based on the Intel documentation [1]. The
recent update removed the feature, indicating that the feature is no
longer planned for hardware implementation.

Patch looks good to me.

BTW, I think the bit cannot be assigned for new other usage in the 
future and becomes reserved forever, right?

Reserving the bit forever looks contrary to the purpose of this patch. 
Right now the bit is already taken. And shipping processors will report 
that CPUID bit as zero. So this removal intentionally makes the software 
into the "it was never defined before" state. Whether the bit will 
eventually be repurposed is what I don't know. But that being said, I 
think it should be also backported to @stable.

Thanks,
Chang
