target-i386: Reenable RDTSCP support on Opteron_G[345] CPU models CPU models
The missing functionality was added ~3 years ago with the Linux commit
46896c73c1a4 ("KVM: svm: add support for RDTSCP")
so reenable RDTSCP support on those CPU models.
Opteron_G2 - being family 15, model 6, doesn't have RDTSCP support
(the real hardware doesn't have it. K8 got RDTSCP support with the NPT
models, i.e., models >= 0x40).
Document the host's minimum required kernel version, while at it.
