[0/2] Remaining work for PKS Implementation

Message

Protection Keys for Supervisor Pages (PKS) is a feature that extends the
Protection Keys architecture to support thread-specific permission
restrictions on superviosr pages, which works similar to an existing
feature named PKU (protecting user-mode pages).

Thanks Paolo to send out the PKS QEMU implemention at:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[e-mail]/

This patch series is just to add the remaining part, i.e. the support
for save/load PKRS and expose the vmx entry/exit load controls to guest.

Chenyi Qiang (2):
  target/i386: Add support for save/load IA32_PKRS MSR
  target/i386: Expose VMX entry/exit load pkrs control bits

 target/i386/cpu.c     |  4 ++--
 target/i386/cpu.h     |  2 ++
 target/i386/kvm/kvm.c | 13 +++++++++++++
