[RFC,v3,00/23] i386: KVM: expand Hyper-V features early

Message

Another week another RFC. KVM patches are still in flight, so RFC again.

Changes since RFCv2:
- Rebase.
- Split "i386: drop FEAT_HYPERV feature leaves" into several patches and
  re-shuffle patches to minimize the code churn and make it easier to
  review. [Eduardo]
- Added "i386: provide simple 'hyperv=on' option to x86 machine types" on
  top.

This pairs with
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/[e-mail]/T/#t

Upper layer tools like libvirt want to figure out which Hyper-V features are
supported by the underlying stack (QEMU/KVM) but currently they are unable to
do so. We have a nice 'hv_passthrough' CPU flag supported by QEMU but it has
no effect on e.g. QMP's 

query-cpu-model-expansion type=full model={"name":"host","props":{"hv-passthrough":true}}

command as we parse Hyper-V features after creating KVM vCPUs and not at
feature expansion time. To support the use-case we first need to make 
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl a system-wide ioctl as the existing
vCPU version can't be used that early. This is what KVM part does. With
that done, we can make early Hyper-V feature expansion (this series).

In addition, add a simple 'hyperv=on' option to x86 machine types which
enables (and requires from KVM) all currently supported Hyper-V enlightenments.
Unlike 'hv_passthrough' mode, this is going to be migratable.
