i386: kvm: Disable arch_capabilities if MSR can't be set
KVM has two bugs in the handling of MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES: 1) Linux commit commit 1eaafe91a0df ("kvm: x86: IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES is always supported") makes GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID return arch_capabilities even if running on SVM. This makes "-cpu host,migratable=off" incorrectly expose arch_capabilities on CPUID on AMD hosts (where the MSR is not emulated by KVM). 2) KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST does not return MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES if the MSR is not supported by the host CPU. This makes QEMU not initialize the MSR properly at kvm_put_msrs() on those hosts. Work around both bugs on the QEMU side, by checking if the MSR was returned by KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST before returning the feature flag on kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid(). This has the unfortunate side effect of making arch_capabilities unavailable on hosts without hardware support for the MSR until bug #2 is fixed on KVM, but I can't see another way to work around bug xen-project#1 without that side effect.
