KVM/VMX: Emulate MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES

Browse source

Intel processors use MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR to indicate RDCL_NO
(bit 0) and IBRS_ALL (bit 1). This is a read-only MSR. By default the
contents will come directly from the hardware, but user-space can still
override it.

[dwmw2: The bit in kvm_cpuid_7_0_edx_x86_features can be unconditional]
