Allow enabling of the vmware backdoor on a per-vm basis. The vmware
backdoor could only be enabled systemwide via the kernel parameter
kvm.enable_vmware_backdoor which required modifying the kernels boot
parameters.
Add the KVM_CAP_X86_VMWARE_BACKDOOR cap that enables the backdoor at the
hypervisor level and allows setting it on a per-vm basis.
The default is whatever kvm.enable_vmware_backdoor was set to, which
by default is false.

+7.37 KVM_CAP_X86_VMWARE_BACKDOOR
+--------------------------------
+
+:Architectures: x86
+:Parameters: args[0] whether the feature should be enabled or not
+:Returns: 0 on success.
+
+The presence of this capability indicates that KVM supports
+enabling of the VMware backdoor via the enable cap interface.
+
+When enabled KVM will support VMware backdoor PV interface. The
+default value for it is set via the kvm.enable_vmware_backdoor
+kernel parameter (false when not set). Must be set before any
+VCPUs have been created.
+
8. Other capabilities.
