They were: - People on the CC list, please reply with your Tested-by, Reported-by, etc tags as appropriate; it's getting blurry who participated in what and how. - This patch is *not* necessary for the OVMF SMM work; instead it addresses an independent OVMF boot regression seen by users.

Commit b18d5431acc7 ("KVM: x86: fix CR0.CD virtualization") was technically correct, but it broke OVMF guests by slowing down various parts of the firmware. Commit fb279950ba02 ("KVM: vmx: obey KVM_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED") quirked the first function modified by b18d5431acc7, vmx_get_mt_mask(), for OVMF's sake. This restored the speed of the OVMF code that runs before PlatformPei (including the memory intensive LZMA decompression in SEC). This patch extends the quirk to the second function modified by b18d5431acc7, kvm_set_cr0(). It eliminates the intrusive slowdown that hits the EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL implementation of edk2's UefiCpuPkg/CpuDxe -- which is built into OVMF --, when CpuDxe starts up all APs at once for initialization, in order to count them. We also carry over the kvm_arch_has_noncoherent_dma() sub-condition from the other half of the original commit b18d5431acc7.
