[PATCH v3 0/1] Introduce Icelake-Server-v7 to enable TSX

[Zhenzhong Duan]

Hi,

This is a new effort trying to enable TSX in Icelake model.

Currently Icelake-Server-v3 and above has TSX disabled but taa-no enabled.
This is a invalid config as taa-no hints TSX exist and is invulnerable.
When start L2 guest with both L1/L2 using Icelake-Server-v3 or above,
QEMU reports below warning:

"warning: host doesn't support requested feature: MSR(10AH).taa-no [bit 8]"


Different from v2 patch 
https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg907730.html
This patch add a new version Icelake-Server-v7, so the compatility of old
version is guaranteed.

Comments welcome!

Thanks
Zhenzhong
