KVM: x86: Control guest reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO
Add KVM_CAP_MSR_PLATFORM_INFO so that userspace can disable guest access to reads of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO. Disabling access to reads of this MSR gives userspace the control to "expose" this platform-dependent information to guests in a clear way. As it exists today, guests that read this MSR would get unpopulated information if userspace hadn't already set it (and prior to this patch series, only the CPUID faulting information could have been populated). This existing interface could be confusing if guests don't handle the potential for incorrect/incomplete information gracefully (e.g. zero reported for base frequency).
