Drop KVM's propagation of GuestPhysBits (CPUID leaf 80000008, EAX[23:16])
to HostPhysBits (same leaf, EAX[7:0]) when advertising the address widths
to userspace via KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID.
Per AMD, GuestPhysBits is intended for software use, and physical CPUs do
not set that field. I.e. GuestPhysBits will be non-zero if and only if
KVM is running as a nested hypervisor, and in that case, GuestPhysBits is
NOT guaranteed to capture the CPU's effective MAXPHYADDR when running with
TDP enabled.
E.g. KVM will soon use GuestPhysBits to communicate the CPU's maximum
*addressable* guest physical address, which would result in KVM under-
reporting PhysBits when running as an L1 on a CPU with MAXPHYADDR=52,
but without 5-level paging.
