Synthesizing AMD leaves up to 0x80000021 caused problems with QEMU,
which assumes the *host* CPUID[0x80000000].EAX is higher or equal
to what KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID reports.
This causes QEMU to issue bogus host CPUIDs when preparing the input
to KVM_SET_CPUID2. It can even get into an infinite loop, which is
only terminated by an abort():
cpuid_data is full, no space for cpuid(eax:0x8000001d,ecx:0x3e)
To work around this, only synthesize those leaves if 0x8000001d exists
on the host. The synthetic 0x80000021 leaf is mostly useful on Zen2,
which satisfies the condition.
Fixes: f144c49e8c ("KVM: x86: synthesize CPUID leaf 0x80000021h if useful")

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.
