Outside of the guest driver there's only one other new file addition in
the series:

  arch/x86/include/asm/cpuid.h

where I moved some code out of arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c in similar fashion, so
cpuid.h should probably inherit cpuid.c's copyright banner. I'll make that
change for the next spin as well. Thanks for the catches.
