When I do a test that try to enable hint-dedicated for one VM, but qemu
says "warning: host doesn't support requested feature:
CPUID.40000001H:EDX.kvm-hint-dedicated [bit 0]".

It seems the kernel hasn't expose this ability even when supporting it;
So expose it.

Sorry, I check it again:
Ihe issue I met is because of my qemu's mis-backport,

In qemu, kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid() will set the feature bit:
    if (function == KVM_CPUID_FEATURES && reg == R_EDX) {
        ret |= KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED;
        found = 1;
    }
But I have mis-ported the KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED and KVM_HINTS_REALTIME macro; And it lead to
the error I met;

And it's right that kernel don't expose this ability!

Sorry again!
