Oh! Almost missed it. This patch should explicitly kvm_cpu_cap_clear()
X86_FEATURE_SHSTK and X86_FEATURE_IBT. We *know* there are upcoming AMD CPUs
that support at least SHSTK, so enumerating support for common code would yield
a version of KVM that incorrectly advertises support for SHSTK.

I hope to land both Intel and AMD virtualization in the same kernel release, but
there are no guarantees that will happen. And explicitly clearing both SHSTK and
IBT would guard against IBT showing up in some future AMD CPU in advance of KVM
gaining full support.
