The KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_NDATA_VALID mechanism that was introduced
contextually with KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_SEV_TERM is not a good match
for ARM and RISC-V, which want to communicate information even
for existing KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_* constants. Userspace is not ready
to filter out bit 31 of type, and fails to process the
KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT exit.
Therefore, tie the availability of ndata to a system capability
(which will be added once all architectures are on board).
Userspace written for released versions of Linux has no reason to
check flags, since it was never written, so it is okay to replace
it with ndata and data[0] (on 32-bit kernels) or with data[0]
(on 64-bit kernels).
