Subject: [PATCH] KVM: pass through CPUID 0x80000005

Pass CPUID 0x80000005 (L1 cache and TLB info).

CPUID 0x80000006 (L2 cache and TLB and L3 cache info) has been returned
since commit 43d05de2bee7 ("KVM: pass through CPUID(0x80000006)").
Enumerating both 0x80000005 and 0x80000006 with KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
would be better than reporting either, and 0x80000005 could be helpful
for VMM to pass it to KVM_SET_CPUID{,2} for the same reason with
0x80000006..

Discussion was made a bit on
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230712170258.75355-1-itazur@amazon.com/.
If there is any reason that leaf 0x80000005 should not be enumerated or
dropping leaf 0x80000006 is preferred, please feel free to share your
thoughts.
