    KVM: x86: Advertise PREFETCHIT0/1 CPUID to user space · 29c46979
    Jiaxi Chen authored
    Latest Intel platform Granite Rapids has introduced a new instruction -
    PREFETCHIT0/1, which moves code to memory (cache) closer to the
    processor depending on specific hints.
    
    The bit definition:
    CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EDX[bit 14]
    
    PREFETCHIT0/1 is on a KVM-only subleaf. Plus an x86_FEATURE definition
    for this feature bit to direct it to the KVM entry.
    
    Advertise PREFETCHIT0/1 to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are
    no new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to
    use this feature.
