Vitaly Kuznetsov 915e6f78bd x86/kvm/hyper-v: inject #GP only when invalid SINTx vector is unmasked
Hyper-V 2016 on KVM with SynIC enabled doesn't boot with the following
trace:

    kvm_entry:            vcpu 0
    kvm_exit:             reason MSR_WRITE rip 0xfffff8000131c1e5 info 0 0
    kvm_hv_synic_set_msr: vcpu_id 0 msr 0x40000090 data 0x10000 host 0
    kvm_msr:              msr_write 40000090 = 0x10000 (#GP)
    kvm_inj_exception:    #GP (0x0)

KVM acts according to the following statement from TLFS:

"
11.8.4 SINTx Registers
...
Valid values for vector are 16-255 inclusive. Specifying an invalid
vector number results in #GP.
"

However, I checked and genuine Hyper-V doesn't #GP when we write 0x10000
to SINTx. I checked with Microsoft and they confirmed that if either the
Masked bit (bit 16) or the Polling bit (bit 18) is set to 1, then they
ignore the value of Vector. Make KVM act accordingly.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
