AMD EPYC CPUs never raise a #GP for a WRMSR to a PerfEvtSeln MSR. Some
reserved bits are cleared, and some are not. Specifically, on
Zen3/Milan, bits 19 and 42 are not cleared.
When emulating such a WRMSR, KVM should not synthesize a #GP,
regardless of which bits are set. However, undocumented bits should
not be passed through to the hardware MSR. So, rather than checking
for reserved bits and synthesizing a #GP, just clear the reserved
bits.
This may seem pedantic, but since KVM currently does not support the
"Host/Guest Only" bits (41:40), it is necessary to clear these bits
rather than synthesizing #GP, because some popular guests (e.g Linux)
will set the "Host Only" bit even on CPUs that don't support
EFER.SVME, and they don't expect a #GP.
