Hi Avi, This patch cover's the kernel ABI change as we discussed in the earlier email.
Patch Description:
Change the ioctl KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID, such that it will return the
no of entries in the list when requested no of entries (nent) is 0.
Also add another KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION, KVM_CAP_CPUID_SIZER to determine
if the running kernel supports the above changed ABI.

Please Apply.
Thanks & Regards,
Nitin
