[RFC PATCH 1/6] x86/kvm: Reserve KVM_FEATURE_HOST_SUSPEND_TIME and MSR_KVM_HOST_SUSPEND_TIME

From: Hikaru Nishida
Date: Mon Apr 26 2021 - 05:09:08 EST


No functional change; just add documentation for
KVM_FEATURE_HOST_SUSPEND_TIME and its corresponding
MSR_KVM_HOST_SUSPEND_TIME to support virtual suspend timing injection in
later patches.
