Subject: KVM: SVM: Don't flush cache if hardware enforces cache coherency
across encryption domains
Git-commit: e1ebb2b49048c4767cfa0d8466f9c701e549fa5e
Patch-mainline: v5.10-rc1
References: bsc#1178134
In some hardware implementations, coherency between the encrypted and
unencrypted mappings of the same physical page in a VM is enforced. In
such a system, it is not required for software to flush the VM's page
from all CPU caches in the system prior to changing the value of the
C-bit for the page.
So check that bit before flushing the cache.
