3.16.63-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Eduardo Habkost ehabkost@redhat.com
commit 0e1b869fff60c81b510c2d00602d778f8f59dd9a upstream.
Some guests OSes (including Windows 10) write to MSR 0xc001102c on some cases (possibly while trying to apply a CPU errata). Make KVM ignore reads and writes to that MSR, so the guest won't crash.
The MSR is documented as "Execution Unit Configuration (EX_CFG)", at AMD's "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for AMD Family 15h Models 00h-0Fh Processors".
