Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 75/97] uio_hv_generic: check that host
 supports monitor page

From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@...workplumber.org>

[ Upstream commit 06028d15177a1b406b7b075ea47c6a352732f23a ]

In order for userspace application to signal host, it needs the
host to support the monitor page property. Check for the flag
and fail if this is not supported.
