Subject: [PATCH] kvm-intel: Auto-load on CPUs with VMX.

Enable x86 feature-based autoloading for the kvm-intel module on CPUs
with X86_FEATURE_VMX.

Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@...htriplett.org>

I've tested this and it works correctly.  I can also supply the obvious
equivalent patch for kvm-amd on AMD CPUs with SVM, but I don't have any
such CPUs to test that on.
