Mitigation for RFDS requires RFDS_CLEAR capability which is enumerated by MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES bit 27. If the host has it set, export it to guests so that they can deploy the mitigation. RFDS_NO indicates that the system is not vulnerable to RFDS, export it to guests so that they don't deploy the mitigation unnecessarily. When the host is not affected by X86_BUG_RFDS, but has RFDS_NO=0, synthesize RFDS_NO to the guest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
