This patch introduces a new KVM capability to control
how KVM behaves on machine check exception (MCE).
Without this capability, KVM redirects machine check
exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector if the address in
error belongs to the guest. With this capability KVM
causes a guest exit with NMI exit reason.

This is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM
is used with an old QEMU for guests that don't issue
"ibm,nmi-register". As old QEMU does not understand the
NMI exit type, it treats it as a fatal error. However,
the guest could have handled the machine check error
if the exception was delivered to guest's 0x200 interrupt
vector instead of NMI exit in case of old QEMU.

QEMU part can be found at:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-ppc/2015-12/msg00199.html

Change Log v3:
  - Split the patch into 2. First patch introduces the
    new capability while the second one enhances KVM to
    redirect MCE.
  - Fix access width bug
  - Rebased to v4.4-rc7

Change Log v2:
  - Added KVM capability

Um.. I don't see anything in this patch or 2/2 which actually tests
this flag...

Sorry, I missed it in the asm, spotted it now.

Might we ever want to set this flag back to false after setting it to
true?  If so perhaps we should do vcpu->kvm->arch.fwnmi_enabled =
!!cap->args[0].  However, I admit I can't actually think of a
situation where we would need to reset it. :)

Even I am not able to think of any situation where resetting is required.
