    x86/kvm/hyper-v: Introduce KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID · 2bc39970
    Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
    With every new Hyper-V Enlightenment we implement we're forced to add a
    KVM_CAP_HYPERV_* capability. While this approach works it is fairly
    inconvenient: the majority of the enlightenments we do have corresponding
    CPUID feature bit(s) and userspace has to know this anyways to be able to
    expose the feature to the guest.
    
    Add KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl (backed by KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID, "one
    cap to rule them all!") returning all Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves.
    
    Using the existing KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID doesn't seem to be possible:
    Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves intersect with KVM's (e.g. 0x40000000,
    0x40000001) and we would probably confuse userspace in case we decide to
    return these twice.
    
    KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID's number is interim: we're intended to drop
    KVM_CAP_HYPERV_STIMER_DIRECT and use its number instead.
