KVM support for AMX includes a new system attribute, KVM_X86_XCOMP_GUEST_SUPP.
Commit 19db68ca68 ("x86: Grant AMX permission for guest", 2022-03-15) however
did not fully consider the behavior on older kernels. First, it warns
too aggressively. Second, it invokes the KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR ioctl
unconditionally and then uses the "bitmask" variable, which remains
uninitialized if the ioctl fails. Third, kvm_ioctl returns -errno rather
than -1 on errors.
While at it, explain why the ioctl is needed and KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
is not enough.
