[RFC PATCH v5 14/38] KVM: arm64: Add SPE capability and VCPU feature

Wed Nov 17 07:38:18 PST 2021
Add the KVM_CAP_ARM_SPE capability which allows userspace to discover if
SPE emulation is available. Add the KVM_ARM_VCPU_SPE feature which
enables the emulation for a VCPU.
Both are disabled for now.

+This capability indicates that Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE) emulation
+is available in KVM. SPE emulation is enabled for each VCPU which has the
