The commit shortlog makes no mention (nor even implies) that this commit
adds AMD support to kvm_hypercall(). Please break this commit up into 2.
One to precompute the result of is_{intel,amd}_cpu() and one to add AMD
support to kvm_hypercall().
If you really want to keep this as one commit (I don't know what the
benefit would be), please change the shortlog and commit message to
focus on the kvm_hypercall() change, as that is the real goal of this
commit. The precomputation is arguably and implementation detail. e.g.
KVM: selftest: Add support for AMD to kvm_hypercall()
Make it possible to use kvm_hypercall() on AMD by checking if running
on an AMD CPU and, if so, using vmmcall instead of vmcall. In order to
avoid executing CPUID in the guest on every call t kvm_hypercall()
(which would be slow), pre-compute the result of is_{intel,amd}_cpu()
as part of kvm_selftest_arch_init() and sync it into the guest
after loading the ELF image.
But again, it'd be cleaner just to split it up. Caching the result of
is_{intel,amd}_cpu() is useful in its own right, independent of the
kvm_hypercall() change.
