[PATCH 2/2] KVM: SVM: Simplify MSR interception logic for IA32_XSS MSR

From: Chao Gao
Date: Thu Jun 12 2025 - 04:20:39 EST


Use svm_set_intercept_for_msr() directly to configure IA32_XSS MSR
interception, ensuring consistency with other cases where MSRs are
intercepted depending on guest caps and CPUIDs.

No functional change intended.

With this patch applied, svm_enable_intercept_for_msr() has no user.
Should it be removed?
