> [PATCH v3 1/2] kvm/cpuid: remove GuestPhysBits code.
No need for a ending . in the title.
GuestPhysBits (cpuid leaf 80000008, eax[23:16]) is intended for software
use. Physical CPUs do not set that field. The current code which
propagates the host's GuestPhysBits to the guest's PhysBits does not
make sense. Remove it.

I suggest keeping as the original comment to stay out of if check, and
keeping the second paragraph with guest MAXPHYADDR thing removed as
below, because the second paragraph is also useful.
If TDP is enabled, use the raw bare metal MAXPHYADDR as reductions to
the HPAs do not affect GPAs.
Otherwise,
