Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] x86: KVM: Advertise AVX-NE-CONVERT CPUID to user space

AVX-NE-CONVERT is a new set of instructions which can convert low
precision floating point like BF16/FP16 to high precision floating point
FP32, and 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 CPUID is exposed to user space. Besides, there is no other VMX
control for this instruction.
