KVM: X86: Emulate MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MWAIT bit
MSR IA32_MISC_ENABLE bit 18, according to SDM: | When this bit is set to 0, the MONITOR feature flag is not set (CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] = 0). | This indicates that MONITOR/MWAIT are not supported. | | Software attempts to execute MONITOR/MWAIT will cause #UD when this bit is 0. | | When this bit is set to 1 (default), MONITOR/MWAIT are supported (CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] = 1). The CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] ought to mirror the value of the MSR bit, CPUID.01H:ECX[bit 3] is a better guard than kvm_mwait_in_guest(). kvm_mwait_in_guest() affects the behavior of MONITOR/MWAIT, not its guest visibility. This patch implements toggling of the CPUID bit based on guest writes to the MSR.
