KVM: VMX: Tell the nested hypervisor to skip L1D flush on vmentry
commit 5b76a3cff011df2dcb6186c965a2e4d809a05ad4 upstream
When nested virtualization is in use, VMENTER operations from the nested
hypervisor into the nested guest will always be processed by the bare metal
hypervisor, and KVM's "conditional cache flushes" mode in particular does a
flush on nested vmentry. Therefore, include the "skip L1D flush on
vmentry" bit in KVM's suggested ARCH_CAPABILITIES setting.
Add the relevant Documentation.
