For consistency, should this feature be renamed AMD_PSFD, now that

And, Paolo, why are we carrying X86_FEATURE_PSFD as a private #define
in KVM rather than putting it where it belongs in cpufeatures.h?


Borislav asked to not show psfd in /proc/cpuinfo, because Linux had
decided not to control PSF separately; instead it just piggybacked
on SSBD which should disable PSF as well.  Honestly I disagree but
it's not my area of maintenance.
