I mean the behavior of violation of "bit 63 == bit 47 == 0" rule,
yes no words in ISE 10.2/3 describe the behavior of such violation
case, but do you know more details of this or had some experiments
on hardware/SIMIC ?

I personally think that's not necessary if no hardware behavior is defined
for such violation, KVM doesn't need to warn such guest violation on host,
like KVM already done for many other cases (e.g #GP is injected for
restricted canonical violation but not WARN_ON)
