    nvmm(4): Expose ARCH_CAP to guest only if the host CPU supports it
    
    * Don't expose ARCH_CAP to guest on AMD CPUs, because the ARCH_CAP
      feature bit and the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR are Intel-specific and
      unavailable on AMD systems.  I decided to not follow Linux KVM, which
      chose to always provide ARCH_CAP and emulate the MSR for AMD CPUs.
    
    * Check whether the host CPU supports the ARCH_CAP feature bit and only
      expose it to the guest if the host supports it.
