[PATCH v1 1/5] x86/cpufeatures: Add CPUID feature bit for Idle HLT intercept

[Manali Shukla <manali.shukla@amd.com>]

From: Manali Shukla <Manali.Shukla@amd.com>

The Idle HLT Intercept feature allows for the HLT instruction
execution by a vCPU to be intercepted by the hypervisor only if there
are no pending events (V_INTR and V_NMI) for the vCPU. When the vCPU
is expected to service the pending events (V_INTR and V_NMI), the Idle
HLT intercept won’t trigger. The feature allows the hypervisor to
determine if the vCPU is idle and reduces wasteful VMEXITs.

Presence of the Idle HLT intercept feature for guests is indicated via
CPUID function 0x8000000A_EDX[30].
