[PATCH v13 12/12] x86/kvm: Add guest support for detecting and enabling SEV Live Migration feature.

To reiterate, in addition to KVM_FEATURE_HC_PAGE_ENC_STATUS, we also need 
to add the new KVM_FEATURE_SEV_LIVE_MIGRATION feature for guest to check
for host-side support for SEV live migration. 

Or will the guest now check KVM_FEATURE_HC_PAGE_ENC_STATUS in CPUID and
then accordingly set bit0 in MSR_KVM_MIGRATION_CONTROL to enable SEV
live migration ?

Thanks,
Ashish
