AMD allows guests to execute XSAVES/XRSTORS if supported by the host. This is different than Intel as they have an additional control bit that determines if XSAVES/XRSTORS can be used by the guest. Intel also has intercept bits that might prevent the guest from intercepting the instruction as well. AMD has none of that, not even an Intercept mechanism. AMD simply allows XSAVES/XRSTORS to be executed by the guest if also supported by the host.
