6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ upstream commit f4116bfc44621882556bbf70f5284fbf429a5cf6 ]

32-bit emulation was disabled on TDX to prevent a possible attack by
a VMM injecting an interrupt on vector 0x80.

Now that int80_emulation() has a check for external interrupts the
limitation can be lifted.

To distinguish software interrupts from external ones, int80_emulation()
checks the APIC ISR bit relevant to the 0x80 vector. For
software interrupts, this bit will be 0.

On TDX, the VAPIC state (including ISR) is protected and cannot be
manipulated by the VMM. The ISR bit is set by the microcode flow during
the handling of posted interrupts.
