- detect AMD svm disabled by BIOS (BZ #242765)

--- NEW FILE linux-2.6-amd-disabled-svm-detect.patch ---
commit cfc329b216bc3e54fe1107e8f714c7b3bc133224

    KVM: SVM: Reliably detect if SVM was disabled by BIOS
    
    This patch adds an implementation to the svm is_disabled function to
    detect reliably if the BIOS disabled the SVM feature in the CPU. This
    fixes the issues with kernel panics when loading the kvm-amd module on
    machines where SVM is available but disabled.
