Windows 10 will triple fault if #GP is injected when attempting to
read the FEATURE_CONTROL MSR on Intel or compatible hardware. Fix this
by injecting a #GP only when the vendor doesn't support the MSR, even
if there are no features to expose.

In principle
Acked-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>

However, iirc it was Andrew who had suggested the conditional you
now replace, so I'd like to wait for him to voice a view.

What about Shanghai? init_shanghai() calling init_intel_cacheinfo()
suggests to me it's at least as Intel-like as Centaur/VIA.

Right, and it also has VMX AFAICT. I'm not sure whether we could also
gate on the presence of VMX and LMCE on the physical CPU. I will send
and updated version with Shanghai added and will keep your Ack.

Thanks, Roger.
