[RFC PATCH v2 02/38] KVM: arm/arm64: Enable nested virtualization via command-line

Add a new kernel parameter(kvm-arm.nested) to enable KVM/ARM nested
virtualization support. This kernel parameter on arm architecture is
ignored since nested virtualization is not supported on arm.

Note that this kernel parameter will not have any impact until nested
virtualization support is completed. Just add this parameter first to
use it when implementing nested virtualization support.
