Sean Christopherson 66a6950f99 KVM: x86: Introduce kvm_cpu_caps to replace runtime CPUID masking
Calculate the CPUID masks for KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID at load time using
what is effectively a KVM-adjusted copy of boot_cpu_data, or more
precisely, the x86_capability array in boot_cpu_data.

In terms of KVM support, the vast majority of CPUID feature bits are
constant, and *all* feature support is known at KVM load time.  Rather
than apply boot_cpu_data, which is effectively read-only after init,
at runtime, copy it into a KVM-specific array and use *that* to mask
CPUID registers.

In additional to consolidating the masking, kvm_cpu_caps can be adjusted
by SVM/VMX at load time and thus eliminate all feature bit manipulation
in ->set_supported_cpuid().

Opportunistically clean up a few warts:

  - Replace bare "unsigned" with "unsigned int" when a feature flag is
    captured in a local variable, e.g. f_nx.

  - Sort the CPUID masks by function, index and register (alphabetically
    for registers, i.e. EBX comes before ECX/EDX).

  - Remove the superfluous /* cpuid 7.0.ecx */ comments.

No functional change intended.

README

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.
