mshv: Extend create partition ioctl to support cpu features
The existing mshv create partition ioctl does not provide a way to specify which cpu features are enabled in the guest. Instead, it attempts to enable all features and those that are not supported are silently disabled by the hypervisor. This was done to reduce unnecessary complexity and is sufficient for many cases. However, new scenarios require fine-grained control over these features. Define a new mshv_create_partition_v2 structure which supports passing the disabled processor and xsave feature bits through to the create partition hypercall directly. Introduce a new flag MSHV_PT_BIT_CPU_AND_XSAVE_FEATURES which enables the new structure. If unset, the original mshv_create_partition struct is used, with the old behavior of enabling all features.
