As the concern raised in [1], it's confusing for
KVM_X86_QUIRK_EPT_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT to be present on AMD's platforms while not
present on Intel's non-self-snoop platforms.

What about still returning KVM_X86_VALID_QUIRKS here and only having
kvm_caps.supported_quirks to filter disabled_quirks?

So, for KVM_X86_QUIRK_EPT_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT, it's still present when userspace
queries KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS2, but it fails when userspace tries to disable
the quirk on Intel platforms without self-snoop.

Not sure if it will cause confusion to the userspace though.

Or what about introduce kvm_caps.force_enabled_quirk?
if (!static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SELFSNOOP))
        kvm_caps.force_enabled_quirks |= KVM_X86_QUIRK_EPT_IGNORE_GUEST_PAT;


static inline bool kvm_check_has_quirk(struct kvm *kvm, u64 quirk)
{
        return !(kvm->arch.disabled_quirks & quirk) |
               (kvm_caps.force_enabled_quirks & quirk);
}

Will this break the uapi of KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS?
My understanding is that only KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS2 filters out invalid
quirks.
