Haiwei Li 17c4ce75a1 hv: cpuid: expose CPUID.EAX=07H subleaf to VMs
Per SDM, VPDPBUSD/VPDPBUSDS/VPDPWSSD/VPDPWSSDS instructions depend on
CPUID Feature Flag 'AVX-VNNI, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512VL'. 'AVX512_VNNI' and
'AVX512VL' are already exposed to any VM.

'AVX-VNNI' is in CPUID.(EAX=07H,ECX=1):EAX.AVX-VNNI[bit 4]. This patch
is to expose all the CPUID.EAX=07H subleaf features to VMs.

Mask corresponding bits if want to disable some features in the future.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
