To date, KVM has allowed guests to use paravirtual interfaces regardless
of the configured CPUID. While almost any guest will consult the
KVM_CPUID_FEATURES leaf _before_ using PV features, it is still
undesirable to have such interfaces silently present.

This series aims to address the issue by adding explicit checks against
the guest's CPUID when servicing any paravirtual feature. Since this
effectively changes the guest/hypervisor ABI, a KVM_CAP is warranted to
guard the new behavior.

Patches 1-2 refactor some of the PV code in anticipation of the change.
Patch 3 introduces the checks + KVM_CAP. Finally, patch 4 fixes some doc
typos that were noticed when working on this series.

v1 => v2:
 - Strip Change-Id footers (checkpatch is your friend!)

v2 => v3:
 - Mark kvm_write_system_time() as static
