The point is that people often want to know in advance (before they
even try to use KVM or Xen) if their CPU and BIOS supports this.

Please use two separate patches. The detection and cpuinfo display is
not related to set svm lock.

Yes, documentation would be useful. See below.

I don't think we need this patch. When SVM is disabled KVM will tell on
module load. Further with SVM-lock it will be possible to re-enable SVM
even if it was disabled by BIOS using a key. In this case the user of
SVM has to clear the capability bit you set in this patch for all cpus.

Could we have this patch tagged with x86 instead of "Experimental" in subject.
