Subject: [PATCH 4.17 01/66] KVM: VMX: support MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES as a feature MSR

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit cd28325249a1ca0d771557ce823e0308ad629f98 upstream.

This lets userspace read the MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES and check that all
requested features are available on the host.
