Add a macro to track CPUID features for which KVM fully defers to
userspace, i.e. that KVM honors if they are enumerated to the guest, even
if KVM itself doesn't advertise them to usersepace.
Somewhat unfortunately, this behavior only applies to MWAIT (largely
because of KVM_X86_QUIRK_MWAIT_NEVER_UD_FAULTS), and it's not all that
likely future features will be handled in a similar way. I.e. very
arguably, potentially tracking every feature in kvm_vmm_cpu_caps is a
waste of memory.
However, adding one-off handling for individual features is quite painful,
especially when considering future hardening. It's very doable to verify,
at compile time, that every CPUID-based feature that KVM queries when
emulating guest behavior is actually known to KVM, e.g. to prevent KVM
bugs where KVM emulates some feature but fails to advertise support to
userspace. In other words, any features that are special cased, i.e. not
handled generically in the CPUID framework, would also need to be special
cased for any hardening efforts that build on said framework.
