On systems that do not have hardware enforced cache coherency between encrypted and unencrypted mappings of the same physical page, the hypervisor can use the VM page flush MSR (0xc001011e) to flush the cache contents of an SEV guest page. When a small number of pages are being flushed, this can be used in place of issuing a WBINVD across all CPUs. CPUID 0x8000001f_eax[2] is used to determine if the VM page flush MSR is available. Add a CPUID feature to indicate it is supported and define the MSR.

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.
