What does that mean?

Are you saying I'm not allowed to ask why stuff is added?

No, sorry. You had asked "what is the use of this bit in
a KVM guest?", and I'm saying that it was already being
propagated to the guest prior to this patchseries, which
is about propagating the Automatic IBRS feature. That's
all.

Thanks,

Kim
