KVM: arm64: Allow KVM to be disabled from the command line

Browse source

Although KVM can be compiled out of the kernel, it cannot be disabled
at runtime. Allow this possibility by introducing a new mode that
will prevent KVM from initialising.

This is useful in the (limited) circumstances where you don't want
KVM to be available (what is wrong with you?), or when you want
to install another hypervisor instead (good luck with that).
