KVM: x86: Advertise AVX-NE-CONVERT CPUID to user space
AVX-NE-CONVERT is a new set of instructions which can convert low precision floating point like BF16/FP16 to high precision floating point FP32, and can also convert FP32 elements to BF16. This instruction allows the platform to have improved AI capabilities and better compatibility. The bit definition: CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EDX[bit 5] AVX-NE-CONVERT is on a KVM-only subleaf. Plus an x86_FEATURE definition for this feature bit to direct it to the KVM entry. Advertise AVX-NE-CONVERT to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are no new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to use this feature.
