Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo, ept_5level, so that userspace can query whether or not the CPU supports 5-level EPT paging. EPT capabilities are enumerated via MSR, i.e. aren't accessible to userspace without help from the kernel, and knowing whether or not 5-level EPT is supported is useful for debug, triage, testing, etc. For example, when EPT is enabled, bits 51:48 of guest physical addresses are consumed by the CPU if and only if 5-level EPT is enabled. For CPUs with MAXPHYADDR > 48, KVM *can't* map all legal guest memory without 5-level EPT, making 5-level EPT support valuable information for userspace.

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.
