Clear all user space registers on entry to the kernel and all KVM guest

I am not sure if I understand this but it will be safer?
It ist similar to commit 0cb5b30698fd ("kvm: vmx: Scrub hardware GPRs at VM-exit").
The idea is to minimize potential payload channels.
Got it! thanks for your explanation!

And can we abstract the operations to be a macro like CLEAR_REG_7?
No, please.
xgr %r7,%r7
is absolutely clear what it does, a MACRO often is not.
nod, this makes sense!
