From: Xiaoyao Li <xiaoyao.li@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
MSR IA32_CORE_CAPABILITY is a feature-enumerating MSR, bit 5 of which
reports the capability of enabling detection of split locks (will be
supported on future processors based on Tremont microarchitecture and
later).
CPUID.(EAX=7H,ECX=0):EDX[30] enumerates the presence of the
IA32_CORE_CAPABILITY MSR.
Please check the latest Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer's Manual for more detailed information on the MSR and
the split lock bit.
Since MSR_IA32_CORE_CAPABILITY is a feature-enumerating MSR that plays the
similar role as CPUID, it can be emulated in software regardless of host's
capability. What we need to do is to set the right value of it to report
the capability of guest.
In this patch, just set the guest's core_capability as 0, because we
haven't added support of the features it indicates to guest. It's for
bisectability.

Changes in v7:
- make kvm_get_core_capability() static since it's only used in this
file.
