Subject: [PATCH 5/6] x86: KVM: Enable AVX-NE-CONVERT CPUID and expose it to guest

AVX-NE-CONVERT is a new set of instructions in the latest Intel platform
Sierra Forest, which can convert low precision floating point like
BF16/FP16 to high precision floating point FP32. It can also convert
FP32 elements to BF16. This instruction allows the platform to have
improved AI capabilities and better compatibility.

The bit definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EDX[bit 5]

This patch enables this CPUID in the kernel feature bits and expose it
to guest OS.
