Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] mshv: Get the vmm capabilities offered by the hypervisor

From: Purna Pavan Chandra Aekkaladevi <paekkaladevi@...ux.microsoft.com>

Some hypervisor APIs are gated by feature bits in the
"vmm capabilities" partition property. Store the capabilities on
mshv_root module init, using HVCALL_GET_PARTITION_PROPERTY_EX.

This is not supported on all hypervisors. In that case, just set the
capabilities to 0 and proceed as normal.
