This appears to be based on Anish's unmerged series.

The helper should have a verb, e.g. kvm_print_vcpu_pinning_help().

I think it makes sense to put this after 'v' so that the vCPU pinning stuff
directly follows the knobs for defining the number of vCPUs.  This test doesn't
use alphabetical, so inserting here doesn't buy anything.

This should print the actual program name.

I've fixed up all of these and rebased.  I'll post a v3 shortly.
