Doing it like this causes a warning if pm is requested but disable halt is not supported.

With this flag, kvm allows guest to control host CPU power state. This increases latency for other processes using same host CPU in an unpredictable way, but if decreases idle entry/exit times for the running VCPU. Follow-up patches will expose this capability to guest (using mwait leaf). Based on a patch by Wanpeng Li <kernellwp@gmail.com> . Signed-off-by: Michael S.
