Subject: [PATCH v10 5/9] x86/kvm: Introduce paravirt split lock detection enumeration
Introduce KVM_FEATURE_SPLIT_LOCK_DETECT, with which guests running
on KVM can enumerate the avaliablility of feature split lock detection.
Introduce KVM_HINTS_SLD_FATAL, which tells whether host is sld_fatal mode,
i.e., whether split lock detection is forced on for guest vcpu.
