[PATCH 6/9] arm64/x86: KVM: Introduce steal-time cap

From: Andrew Jones <drjones at redhat.com>
arm64 requires a vcpu fd (KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR vcpu ioctl) to probe
support for steal-time. However this is unnecessary, as only a KVM
fd is required, and it complicates userspace (userspace may prefer
delaying vcpu creation until after feature probing). Introduce a cap
that can be checked instead. While x86 can already probe steal-time
support with a kvm fd (KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID), we add the cap there
too for consistency.

+
+This capability indicates that KVM supports steal time accounting.
+When steal time accounting is supported it may be enabled with
+architecture-specific interfaces. This capability and the architecture-
+specific interfaces must be consistent, i.e. if one says the feature
+is supported, than the other should as well and vice versa. For arm64
+see Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vcpu.rst "KVM_ARM_VCPU_PVTIME_CTRL".
+For x86 see Documentation/virt/kvm/msr.rst "MSR_KVM_STEAL_TIME".
