This patch adds an inline python code for reading MSR features. Since
reading MSRs is a privileged operation, we have to read them from
/dev/cpu/*/msr if it is readable (i.e., the script runs as root) or
fallback to using KVM ioctl which can be done by any user that can start
virtual machines.
The python code is inlined rather than provided in a separate script
because whenever there's an issue with proper detection of CPU features,
we ask the reporter to run cpu-gather.sh script to give us all data we
need to know about the host CPU. Asking them to run several scripts
would likely result in one of them being ignored or forgotten.
