Also known as Paravirtualization level or maximim cpuid function present in this leaf.
This is just the EAX value for 0x40000000.

QEMU knows this is KVM_CPUID_SIGNATURE (0x40000000).

This is based on:

Microsoft Hypervisor CPUID Leaves:

Linux kernel change starts with:

Also:

VMware documention on CPUIDs (Mechanisms to determine if software is
running in a VMware virtual machine):
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1009458

QEMU has the value HYPERV_CPUID_MIN defined.
