FRED, i.e., the Intel flexible return and event delivery architecture,
defines simple new transitions that change privilege level (ring
transitions).
In addition to these transitions, the FRED architecture defines a new
instruction (LKGS) for managing the state of the GS segment register.
The LKGS instruction can be used by 64-bit operating systems that do
not use the new FRED transitions.
The CPUID feature flag CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EAX[17] enumerates FRED, and
the CPUID feature flag CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EAX[18] enumerates LKGS.
Add CPUID definitions for FRED/LKGS, and expose them to KVM guests only.
Because FRED relies on LKGS, add it to feature dependency map.
