+Subject: [PATCH] x86/CPU/AMD: Clear virtualized VMLOAD/VMSAVE on Zen4 client
+
+A number of Zen4 client SoCs advertise the ability to use virtualized
+VMLOAD/VMSAVE, but using these instructions is reported to be a cause
+of a random host reboot.
+
+These instructions aren't intended to be advertised on Zen4 client
+so clear the capability.
