KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migrationgrafted
Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is destroyed. Because the source VM is "converted" to a non-SEV VM, KVM's memory reclaim flows won't trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier. Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn't an option as KVM doesn't require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not. Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.

+Description: Reading this file tells if the AMD Platform Management(PMF)
+ Cool n Quiet Framework(CnQF) feature is enabled or not.
+
+ This feature is not enabled by default and gets only turned on
+ if OEM BIOS passes a "flag" to PMF ACPI function (index 11 or 12)
+ or in case the user writes "on".
+
+ To turn off CnQF user can write "off" to the sysfs node.
+ Note: Systems that support auto mode will not have this sysfs file
+ available.
