KVM: Add documentation for KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET ioctl
To implement CPU=Host we have added KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET vm ioctl which provides information to user space required for creating VCPU matching underlying Host. This patch adds info related to this new KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET vm ioctl in the KVM API documentation.

+The ioctl returns struct kvm_vcpu_init instance containing information
