[SRU][N:intel][PATCH 1/4] x86/cpu: Add a VMX flag to enumerate 5-level EPT support to userspace

[Thibault Ferrante]

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc at google.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2071628

Add a VMX flag in /proc/cpuinfo, ept_5level, so that userspace can query
whether or not the CPU supports 5-level EPT paging.  EPT capabilities are
enumerated via MSR, i.e. aren't accessible to userspace without help from
the kernel, and knowing whether or not 5-level EPT is supported is useful
for debug, triage, testing, etc.

For example, when EPT is enabled, bits 51:48 of guest physical addresses
are consumed by the CPU if and only if 5-level EPT is enabled.  For CPUs
with MAXPHYADDR > 48, KVM *can't* map all legal guest memory without
5-level EPT, making 5-level EPT support valuable information for userspace.
