The AMD APM says, "For each error-reporting register bank, software
should set the enable bits to 1 in the MCi_CTL register for the error
types it wants the processor to report. Software can write each
MCi_CTL with all 1s to enable all error-reporting mechanisms.' It does
not say that only all 1's or all 0's are allowed, and it implies that
any value is allowed.
Since this is a vendor-agnostic function, the Intel-specific
constraints should only be applied when virtualizing Intel CPUs (in
particular, Intel P6 family CPUs). The same comment applies to the
existing constraints from commit 890ca9aefa78 ("KVM: Add MCE
support"), which were only partially relaxed by commit 114be429c8cd4
("KVM: allow bit 10 to be cleared in MSR_IA32_MC4_CTL").
