From: Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>
At the moment, the function kvm_get_vmid_bits() is looking up for the
sanitized value of ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1 and extract the information
regarding the number of VMID bits supported.
This is fine as the function is mainly used during VMID roll-over. New
use in a follow-up patch will require the function to be called a every
context switch so we want the function to be more efficient.
A new capability is introduced to tell whether 16-bit VMID is
available.
