Heh, the changelog doesn't actually state that it's adding support for said
advertisement of features.  It took me a few seconds to figure out what the
patch was doing, even though it's quite trivial in the end.

This is fixing up commit 3 from Part1, though I think it can and should be
omitted from that patch entirely since it's not relevant to the guest, only to
KVM.

And FWIW, I like the verbose name, though it looks like Boris requested the
shorter names for the guest.  Can we keep the verbose form for KVM-only VMEGXIT
name?  Hyper-V has mostly laid claim to "HV", and feature is not the first thing
that comes to mind for "FT".
