[PATCH] target/i386: Export TAA_NO bit to guests

2019-11-19 Thread Pawan Gupta
TSX Async Abort (TAA) is a side channel attack on internal buffers in some Intel processors similar to Microachitectural Data Sampling (MDS). Some future Intel processors will use the ARCH_CAP_TAA_NO bit in the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR to report that they are not vulnerable to TAA. Make this
