According to section "Checking and Loading Guest State" in Intel SDM vol
3C, the following check is performed on vmentry:
If the "load IA32_PAT" VM-entry control is 1, the value of the field
for the IA32_PAT MSR must be one that could be written by WRMSR
without fault at CPL 0. Specifically, each of the 8 bytes in the
field must have one of the values 0 (UC), 1 (WC), 4 (WT), 5 (WP),
6 (WB), or 7 (UC-).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
