I'm pretty sure I suggested this, but seeing it in code, it kinda sorta makes things
worst if we don't first consolidate the existing flags.  kvm_x86_ops works, but we'd
definitely be taking liberties with the "ops" part.

What about adding struct kvm_caps to collect these flags/settings that don't fit
into kvm_cpu_caps because they're not a CPUID feature flag?  kvm_x86_ops has the
advantage of kinda being read-only after init since VMX modifies vmx_x86_ops,
but IMO that's not enough reason to shove this into kvm_x86_ops.  And long term,
we might be able find a way to mark kvm_caps as full __ro_after_init.

If no one objects, the attached patch can slide in before this patch, then
has_notifiy_vmexit can land in kvm_caps.

struct kvm_caps {
	/* control of guest tsc rate supported? */
	bool has_tsc_control;
	/* maximum supported tsc_khz for guests */
	u32  max_guest_tsc_khz;
	/* number of bits of the fractional part of the TSC scaling ratio */
	u8   tsc_scaling_ratio_frac_bits;
	/* maximum allowed value of TSC scaling ratio */
	u64  max_tsc_scaling_ratio;
	/* 1ull << kvm_caps.tsc_scaling_ratio_frac_bits */
	u64  default_tsc_scaling_ratio;
	/* bus lock detection supported? */
	bool has_bus_lock_exit;

	u64 supported_mce_cap;
	u64 supported_xcr0;
	u64 supported_xss;
};

Setting notify_vmexit and notify_vmexit_flags needs to be done under kvm->lock,
and changing notify_window if kvm->created_vcpus > 0 needs to disallowed, otherwise
init_vmcs() will use the wrong value.

notify_vmexit_flags could be changed on the fly, but I doubt that's worth
supporting as even the smallest amount of complexity will go unused.

So I think this?

	case KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT:
		r = -EINVAL;
		if ((u32)cap->args[0] & ~KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_VALID_BITS)
			break;
		if (!kvm_x86_ops.has_notify_vmexit)
			break;
		if (!(u32)cap->args[0] & KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED)
			break;
		mutex_lock(&kvm->lock);
		if (!kvm->created_vcpus) {
			kvm->arch.notify_window = cap->args[0] >> 32;
			kvm->arch.notify_vmexit_flags = (u32)cap->args[0];
			r = 0;
		}
		mutex_unlock(&kvm->lock);
		break;
