KVM: SVM: Drop DEBUGCTL[5:2] from guest's effective value
Drop bits 5:2 from the guest's effective DEBUGCTL value, as AMD changed the architectural behavior of the bits and broke backwards compatibility. On CPUs without BusLockTrap (or at least, in APMs from before ~2023), bits 5:2 controlled the behavior of external pins: Performance-Monitoring/Breakpoint Pin-Control (PBi)—Bits 5:2, read/write. Software uses thesebits to control the type of information reported by the four external performance-monitoring/breakpoint pins on the processor. When a PBi bit is cleared to 0, the corresponding external pin (BPi) reports performance-monitor information. When a PBi bit is set to 1, the corresponding external pin (BPi) reports breakpoint information. With the introduction of BusLockTrap, presumably to be compatible with Intel CPUs, AMD redefined bit 2 to be BLCKDB: Bus Lock #DB Trap (BLCKDB)—Bit 2, read/write. Software sets this bit to enable generation of a #DB trap following successful execution of a bus lock when CPL is > 0. and redefined bits 5:3 (and bit 6) as "6:3 Reserved MBZ". Ideally, KVM would treat bits 5:2 as reserved. Defer that change to a feature cleanup to avoid breaking existing guest in LTS kernels. For now, drop the bits to retain backwards compatibility (of a sort). Note, dropping bits 5:2 is still a guest-visible change, e.g. if the guest is enabling LBRs *and* the legacy PBi bits, then the state of the PBi bits is visible to the guest, whereas now the guest will always see '0'.
