[ Upstream commit a484755ab2526ebdbe042397cdd6e427eb4b1a68 ]
Revert KVM's made-up consistency check on SVM's TLB control. The APM says
that unsupported encodings are reserved, but the APM doesn't state that
VMRUN checks for a supported encoding. Unless something is called out
in "Canonicalization and Consistency Checks" or listed as MBZ (Must Be
Zero), AMD behavior is typically to let software shoot itself in the foot.
This reverts commit 174a921b6975ef959dd82ee9e8844067a62e3ec1.

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.
