For reference, it was introduced by:

commit be7773268d98176489483a315d3e2323cb0615b9
Author: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>
Date:   Fri Feb 9 06:15:25 2018 -0800

    target-i386: add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint
    
    Add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint, guest checks this feature bit
    to determine if they run on dedicated vCPUs, allowing optimizations such
    as usage of qspinlocks.

Sorry for not including a "Fixes:" tag in the commit message.  If
you think it's worth it, I can redo the pull request with it.

No, that's fine. I'm just checking that we're all on the same page
about the level of fix that goes into a late-stage rc. Particularly
as we get past rc2 or so, it's definitely helpful to me if pull
request cover letters include justifications for why the changes
should go in.
