SEV-ES guests can request termination using the GHCB's MSR protocol. See
AMD's GHCB spec section '4.1.13 Termination Request'. Currently when a
guest does this the userspace VMM sees an KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN (-EVINAL)
return code from KVM_RUN. By adding a KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN_ENTRY to kvm_run
struct the userspace VMM can clearly see the guest has requested a SEV-ES
termination including the termination reason code set and reason code.

Looks good, but it has to also add a capability.

+ /* KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN_ENTRY */

Just KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN.
