Subject: [PATCHv3 08/10] KVM: SVM: Add VNMI bit definition

VNMI exposes 3 capability bits (V_NMI, V_NMI_MASK, and V_NMI_ENABLE) to
virtualize NMI and NMI_MASK, Those capability bits are part of
VMCB::intr_ctrl -
V_NMI_PENDING_MASK(11) - Indicates whether a virtual NMI is pending in the
guest.
V_NMI_BLOCKING_MASK(12) - Indicates whether virtual NMI is masked in the
guest.
V_NMI_ENABLE_MASK(26) - Enables the NMI virtualization feature for the
guest.

When Hypervisor wants to inject NMI, it will set V_NMI bit, Processor
will clear the V_NMI bit and Set the V_NMI_MASK which means the Guest is
handling NMI, After the guest handled the NMI, The processor will clear
the V_NMI_MASK on the successful completion of IRET instruction Or if
VMEXIT occurs while delivering the virtual NMI.

To enable the VNMI capability, Hypervisor need to program
V_NMI_ENABLE_MASK bit 1.

v3:
- Renamed V_NMI bits per Sean's v2 comment for
  better readability.
