Track "virtual NMI exposed to L1" via a governed feature flag instead of
using a dedicated bit/flag in vcpu_svm.
Note, checking KVM's capabilities instead of the "vnmi" param means that
the code isn't strictly equivalent, as vnmi_enabled could have been set
if nested=false where as that the governed feature cannot. But that's a
glorified nop as the feature/flag is consumed only by paths that are
gated by nSVM being enabled.

Track "virtual VMSAVE/VMLOAD exposed to L1" via a governed feature flag
instead of using a dedicated bit/flag in vcpu_svm.
Opportunistically add a comment explaining why KVM disallows virtual
VMLOAD/VMSAVE when the vCPU model is Intel.
No functional change intended.

Track "TSC scaling exposed to L1" via a governed feature flag instead of
using a dedicated bit/flag in vcpu_svm.
Note, this fixes a benign bug where KVM would mark TSC scaling as exposed
to L1 even if overall nested SVM supported is disabled, i.e. KVM would let
L1 write MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO even when KVM didn't advertise TSCRATEMSR
support to userspace.

Track "VMX exposed to L1" via a governed feature flag instead of using a
dedicated helper to provide the same functionality. The main goal is to
drive convergence between VMX and SVM with respect to querying features
that are controllable via module param (SVM likes to cache nested
features), avoiding the guest CPUID lookups at runtime is just a bonus
and unlikely to provide any meaningful performance benefits.
Note, X86_FEATURE_VMX is set in kvm_cpu_caps if and only if "nested" is
true, and the CPU obviously supports VMX if KVM+VMX is running. I.e. the
check on "nested" is now implicitly down by the kvm_cpu_cap_has() check
in kvm_governed_feature_check_and_set().
No functional change intended.

Use the governed feature framework to track if XSAVES is "enabled", i.e.
if XSAVES can be used by the guest. Add a comment in the SVM code to
explain the very unintuitive logic of deliberately NOT checking if XSAVES
is enumerated in the guest CPUID model.
No functional change intended.

Use the governed feature framework to track whether or not the guest can
use 1GiB pages, and drop the one-off helper that wraps the surprisingly
non-trivial logic surrounding 1GiB page usage in the guest.

Introduce yet another X86_FEATURE flag framework to manage and cache KVM
governed features (for lack of a better name). "Governed" in this case
means that KVM has some level of involvement and/or vested interest in
whether or not an X86_FEATURE can be used by the guest. The intent of the
framework is twofold: to simplify caching of guest CPUID flags that KVM
needs to frequently query, and to add clarity to such caching, e.g. it
isn't immediately obvious that SVM's bundle of flags for "optional nested
SVM features" track whether or not a flag is exposed to L1.
Begrudgingly define KVM_MAX_NR_GOVERNED_FEATURES for the size of the
bitmap to avoid exposing governed_features.h in arch/x86/include/asm/, but
add a FIXME to call out that it can and should be cleaned up once
"struct kvm_vcpu_arch" is no longer expose to the kernel at large.
