When AMD introduced "Long Mode Segment Limit Enable" (a.k.a. "VMware
mode"), the feature was not enumerated by a CPUID bit. Now that VMware
has abandoned binary translation, AMD has deprecated EFER.LMSLE.

The absence of the feature *is* now enumerated by a CPUID bit (a la
Intel's X86_FEATURE_ZERO_FCS_DCS and X86_FEATURE_FDP_EXCPTN_ONLY).

This defeature bit is already present in feature word 13, but it was
previously anonymous. Name it X86_FEATURE_NO_LMSLE, so that KVM can
reference it when deciding whether or not EFER.LMSLE should be a
reserved bit in a KVM guest.

Since this bit indicates the absence of a feature, don't enumerate it
in /proc/cpuinfo.
