Add a new KVM_CAP_MIPS_64BIT capability to indicate that 64-bit MIPS
guests are available and supported. In this case it should still be
possible to run 32-bit guest code. If not available it won't be possible
to run 64-bit guest code and the instructions may not be available, or
the kernel may not support full context switching of 64-bit registers.
