Subject: [PATCH 20/40] KVM: SVM: move feature detection to hardware setup code

From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@....com>

By moving the SVM feature detection from the each_cpu code to the hardware
setup code it runs only once. As an additional advance the feature check is now
available earlier in the module setup process.
