[PATCH] kvm: support guest access CORE cstate

[PATCH] kvm: support guest access CORE cstate

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>

Allow guest reads CORE cstate when exposing host CPU power management capabilities 
to the guest. PKG cstate is restricted to avoid a guest to get the whole package 
information in multi-tenant scenario.

Hi,

instead of this, with the new design I've proposed QEMU will have to
save/restore the MSRs, but otherwise no change is needed to
kvm_arch_init and to the KVM headers.
