[PATCH] KVM: x86/pt: Do not advertise Intel PT Event Trace capability

[Like Xu]

From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The Inte PT Event Trace capability (Intel SDM Vol3, 32.2.4 Event Tracing)
is a new CPU feature that "exposes details about the asynchronous events,
when they are generated, and when their corresponding software event
handler completes execution".

It is not possible for KVM to emulate all events including interrupts,
VM exits, VM entries, INIT, SIPI events and etc. for guests and to
emulate the simultaneous writing of Control Flow Events and Event Data
packets generated by the KVM to the guest PT buffer.

For KVM, it is best not to advertise the Event Trace feature and just
let it be a system-wide-only tracing capability.

Off topic, other new PT features such as "PSB and PMI Preservation Supported"
and "TNT disable" are under investigation or awaiting host support to move on.
