[PATCH v6 11/12] KVM: SVM: Add a vCPU-aware helper to get supported DEBUGCTL bits

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 17:14:38 EST


From: Shivansh Dhiman <shivansh.dhiman@xxxxxxx>

Replace DEBUGCTL_RESERVED_BITS with a vCPU-aware helper that provides the
set of supported bits so that KVM can handle bits that are conditionally
supported based on the vCPU model, e.g. for features like Bus Lock Detect.

No functional change intended.
