That is the MSR_AMD64_DE_CFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE bit. Yeah, that actually
does change the behavior of LFENCE and isn't just a reflection of the
hardware.

Linux does set that bit on boot, too (if LFENCE always serializing isn't
advertised 8000_0021_EAX[2]), so I'm kind of surprised it didn't pop up
there.

I imagine that the above CPUID bit isn't set, so an attempt is made to
set the MSR bit.

Thanks,
