Subject: [PATCH] Add 'hide-hypervisor' QMP command
CAUTION: Extremely hacky stuff below. Use at own risk of bugs, breakage and
bear attacks.
Introduce a new QMP call to disable the hypervisor CPUID flag at runtime on
x86 KVM. Allows the guest OS to initialize with full hypervisor/PV support
while allowing broken guest applications that require a bare metal machine
to function. Enable 'hypervisor' flag on boot command, then wait for guest
boot, then run 'hide-hypervisor' via QMP. Might break guests that depend on
CPUID never changing at runtime, as is the case on real hardware (excluding
microcode updates, which are magic anyway).

make sure to configure with ../configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu so it doesn't try to build all targets and fail.
