This ioctl returns x86 cpuid features which are supported by both the hardware

This ioctl returns x86 cpuid features which are supported by both the

Note that certain capabilities, such as KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS, may
|

expose cpuid features (e.g. MONITOR) which are not supported by kvm in

its default configuration. If userspace enables such capabilities, it
|

is responsible for modifying the results of this ioctl appropriately.
|

|

Userspace invokes KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID by passing a kvm_cpuid2 structure

with the 'nent' field indicating the number of entries in the variable-size
