When running virtualized, MTRR access can be reduced (e.g. in Xen PV
guests or when running as a SEV-SNP guest under Hyper-V). Typically
the hypervisor will reset the MTRR feature in cpuid data, resulting
in no MTRR memory type information being available for the kernel.
This has turned out to result in problems:
- Hyper-V SEV-SNP guests using uncached mappings where they shouldn't
- Xen PV dom0 mapping memory as WB which should be UC- instead
Solve those problems by supporting to set a fixed MTRR state,
overwriting the empty state used today. In case such a state has been
set, don't call get_mtrr_state() in mtrr_bp_init(). The set state
will only be used by mtrr_type_lookup(), as in all other cases
mtrr_enabled() is being checked, which will return false. Accept the
overwrite call only in case of MTRRs being disabled in cpuid.

So this here needs to check:
if (!cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR) &&
!(cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_SEV_SNP) ||
cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_XENPV))) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
return;
}
as we don't want this to be called somewhere or by something else.
The SEV_SNP flag can be used from:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221214194056.161492-14-michael.roth@xxxxxxx
I'm assuming here HyperV SEV-SNP guests really do set that feature flag
(they better). We can expedite that patch ofc.
