KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL allows userspace to create emulated device in KVM.
For example, userspace VFIO implementation needs to create a kvm_device
(i.e. KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO) on x86. So add the cap to allow userspace for
such use cases.

Rather than hardcode this in x86, I think it would be better to add an #ifdef'd
version in the generic check.  E.g. if MIPS or RISC-V ever gains KVM_VFIO support
then they'll need to enumerate KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL too, and odds are we'll forget
to to do.

The other potentially bad idea would be to detect the presence of a device_ops and
delete all of the arch hooks, e.g.

Yes, it looks better to move it to the generic check, but I'm not sure if it would be necessary to do the per-device check here either via CONFIG_KVM_VFIO (for example, if more non-arch-specific usages are added, we would end up with lots of such #ifdef to be added, which doesn't seem nice) or kvm_device_ops_table.

I think fundamentally KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL is used to check if the generic kvm_device framework (e.g. KVM_CREATE_DEVICE) is supported by KVM (older KVM before 2013 doesn't have it). The per-device type (KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO, KVM_DEV_TYPE_ARM_PV_TIME etc.) support can be checked via KVM_CREATE_DEVICE, which reports -ENODEV if the device type doesn't have an entry in kvm_device_ops_table.

If that's how we want to retroactively define things, then KVM should unconditionally
return 1/true for KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL since KVM_CREATE_DEVICE is provided by
generic code.

Yes. Also, since we have KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO the generic use case, it should be better
to move the CAP check to the generic kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension_generic.
