KVM: Enhance guest cpuid management

The current cpuid management suffers from several problems, which inhibit
passing through the host feature set to the guest:

 - No way to tell which features the host supports

  While some features can be supported with no changes to kvm, others
  need explicit support.  That means kvm needs to vet the feature set
  before it is passed to the guest.

 - No support for indexed or stateful cpuid entries

  Some cpuid entries depend on ecx as well as on eax, or on internal
  state in the processor (running cpuid multiple times with the same
  input returns different output).  The current cpuid machinery only
  supports keying on eax.

 - No support for save/restore/migrate

  The internal state above needs to be exposed to userspace so it can
  be saved or migrated.

This patch adds extended cpuid support by means of three new ioctls:

 - KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID: get all cpuid entries the host (and kvm)
   supports

 - KVM_SET_CPUID2: sets the vcpu's cpuid table

 - KVM_GET_CPUID2: gets the vcpu's cpuid table, including hidden state

[avi: fix original KVM_SET_CPUID not removing nx on non-nx hosts as it did
      before]
