[PATCH v2 0/5] x86: cpuid: improve support for broken CPUID configurations

[Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@redhat.com>]

This patch series aims to harden the cpuid code against the case when
the hypervisor exposes a broken CPUID configuration to the guest,
in the form of having a feature disabled but not features that depend on it.

This is the more generic way to fix kernel panic in aes-ni kernel driver,
which was triggered by CPUID configuration in which AVX is disabled but
not AVX2.

This was tested by booting a guest with AVX disabled and not AVX2,
and observing that both a warning is now printed in dmesg, and
that avx2 is gone from /proc/cpuinfo.

V2:

I hopefully addressed all the (very good) review feedback.

Best regards,
	Maxim Levitsky
