Unconditionally intercept changes to CR4.LA57 so that KVM correctly
injects a #GP fault if the guest attempts to set CR4.LA57 when it's
supported in hardware but not exposed to the guest.
Long term, KVM needs to properly handle CR4 bits that can be under guest
control but also may be reserved from the guest's perspective. But, KVM
currently sets the CR4 guest/host mask only during vCPU creation, and
reworking flows to change that will take a bit of elbow grease.
Even if/when generic support for intercepting reserved bits exists, it's
probably not worth letting the guest set CR4.LA57 directly. LA57 can't
be toggled while long mode is enabled, thus it's all but guaranteed to
be set once (maybe twice, e.g. by BIOS and kernel) during boot and never
touched again. On the flip side, letting the guest own CR4.LA57 may
incur extra VMREADs. In other words, this temporary "hack" is probably
also the right long term fix.

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.
