We sometimes need to get/set attributes specific to a virtual machine
and so need something else than ONE_REG.
Let's copy the KVM_DEVICE approach, and define the respective ioctls
for the vm file descriptor.

+Generic vm interface
+====================================
+
+The interface handles per-vm attributes, such as CMMA status on s390 and is
+similar in way to ONE_REG, but targeting the whole vm instead of one vcpu
+alone. It is available with KVM_CAP_VM_ATTRIBUTES.
This document doesn't sound impressively useful :).
