Bugzilla: 874400
Upstream status: not applicable (see notes below)
Brew scratch build: http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=6953316
KVM can't expose RDTSCP to guests on AMD CPUs, so there's no point in
having RDTSCP enabled on AMD CPU models.
About upstream status and rationale for making it RHEL-specific:
This is another case where independently from the upstream decision, we
will want to add RHEL-specific code to fiddle with the CPU definitions.
TCG does support RDTSCP, so it makes sense for upstream to keep RDTSCP
enabled on those CPU models. We, on the other hand, care about KVM and
know libvirt doesn't use enforce mode yet (but should eventually use
it), so it makes sense to disable RDTSCP on AMD models in RHEL.
(This will eventually be a problem for libvirt upstream, when it starts
using or emulating "enforce" mode. I have added notes at:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/CPUModels#Disabling_features_that_were_always_disabled_on_KVM )
Changes v1 -> v2:
* Fix typo: "phenon" -> "phenom"
