x86: KVM: Advertise AMX-FP16 CPUID to user space
Latest Intel platform Granite Rapids has introduced a new instruction -
AMX-FP16, which performs dot-products of two FP16 tiles and accumulates
the results into a packed single precision tile. AMX-FP16 adds FP16
capability and also allows a FP16 GPU trained model to run faster
without loss of accuracy or added SW overhead.
The bit definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EAX[bit 21]
AMX-FP16 is on an expected-dense CPUID leaf and some other bits on this
leaf have kernel usages. Given that, define this feature bit like
X86_FEATURE_<name> in kernel. Considering AMX-FP16 itself has no truly
kernel usages and /proc/cpuinfo has too much unreadable flags, hide this
one in /proc/cpuinfo.
Advertise AMX-FP16 to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are no
new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to use
this feature.
