The KVM MMIO support uses bit 51 as the reserved bit to cause nested page
faults when a guest performs MMIO. The AMD memory encryption support uses
a CPUID function to define the encryption bit position. Given this, it is
possible that these bits can conflict.
Use svm_hardware_setup() to override the MMIO mask if memory encryption
support is enabled. Various checks are performed to ensure that the mask
is properly defined and rsvd_bits() is used to generate the new mask (as
was done prior to the change that necessitated this patch).

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.
