x86: KVM: Advertise AVX-IFMA CPUID to user space
AVX-IFMA is a new instruction in the latest Intel platform Sierra
Forest. This instruction packed multiplies unsigned 52-bit integers and
adds the low/high 52-bit products to Qword Accumulators.
The bit definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EAX[bit 23]
AVX-IFMA is on an expected-dense CPUID leaf and some other bits on this
leaf have kernel usages. Given that, define this feature bit like
X86_FEATURE_<name> in kernel. Considering AVX-IFMA itself has no truly
kernel usages and /proc/cpuinfo has too much unreadable flags, hide this
one in /proc/cpuinfo.
Advertise AVX-IFMA to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are no
new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to use
this feature.
