IIRC there was some discussion in previous versions about whether
vmtrace_supported should be globally exposed to all arches, since I
see the symbol is defined in a common file I assume Arm maintainers
agree to this approach, and hence it would be helpful to add a note to
the commit message, ie:

"The vmtrace_supported global variable is defined in common code with
the expectation that other arches also supporting processor tracing
can make use of it."

Andrew also suggested to set vmtrace_supported to the value of
cpu_has_ipt during CPU identification and then clear it here if VMX
doesn't support IPT. Since this implementation won't add support for
PV guests I'm not specially trilled and I think this approach is fine
for the time being. If/When PV support is added we will have to
re-arrange this a bit.

Thanks.

Despite us not supporting offlining and re-onlining of the BSP
(i.e. CPU 0) yet, I'm trying hard to keep new code from making
assumptions like this one. Please don't base this on CPU number,
but some other property (system_state, if nothing else can be
found).
