[PATCH v4 1/3] KVM: Introduce dedicated vCPUs hint KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch introduces dedicated vCPUs(vCPU pinning, and there is 
no vCPU over-commitment) hint KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED, guest checks 
this feature bit to determine if they run on dedicated vCPUs, 
allowing optimizations.
