Wei Wang 63912245c1 KVM: move KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL to the generic check
KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL allows userspace to check if the kvm_device
framework (e.g. KVM_CREATE_DEVICE) is supported by KVM. Move
KVM_CAP_DEVICE_CTRL to the generic check for the two reasons:
1) it already supports arch agnostic usages (i.e. KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO).
For example, userspace VFIO implementation may needs to create
KVM_DEV_TYPE_VFIO on x86, riscv, or arm etc. It is simpler to have it
checked at the generic code than at each arch's code.
2) KVM_CREATE_DEVICE has been added to the generic code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
