Intel Processor Trace virtualization can be work in one
of 2 possible modes:
a. System-Wide mode (default):
When the host configures Intel PT to collect trace packets
of the entire system, it can leave the relevant VMX controls
clear to allow VMX-specific packets to provide information
across VMX transitions.
KVM guest will not aware this feature in this mode and both
host and KVM guest trace will output to host buffer.
b. Host-Guest mode:
Host can configure trace-packet generation while in
VMX non-root operation for guests and root operation
for native executing normally.
Intel PT will be exposed to KVM guest in this mode, and
the trace output to respective buffer of host and guest.
In this mode, tht status of PT will be saved and disabled
before VM-entry and restored after VM-exit if trace
a virtual machine.

Expose the variables associated with various module params that are
needed by the nested VMX code. There is no ulterior logic for what
variables are/aren't exposed, this is purely "what's needed by the
nested code".
Note that @nested is intentionally not exposed.

Defining a separate capabilities.h as opposed to putting this code in
e.g. vmx.h avoids circular dependencies between (the yet-to-be-added)
vmx.h and nested.h. The aforementioned circular dependencies are why
struct nested_vmx_msrs also resides in capabilities instead of e.g.
nested.h.
