[PATCHv10.1 05/18] x86/kexec: Keep CR4.MCE set during kexec for TDX guest
From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Fri Feb 10 2023 - 04:53:11 EST
Depending on setup, TDX guests might be allowed to clear CR4.MCE.
Attempt to clear it leads to #VE.
Use alternatives to keep the flag during kexec for TDX guests.
The change doesn't affect non-TDX-guest environments.
