FLUSH_L1D was already added in 11e34e64

, but the feature is not
visible to userspace yet.

The bit definition:
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX[bit 28]

If the feature is supported by the host, kvm should support it too so
that userspace can choose whether to expose it to the guest or not.
One disadvantage of not exposing it is that the guest will report
a non existing vulnerability in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mmio_stale_data
because the mitigation is present only if the guest supports
(FLUSH_L1D and MD_CLEAR) or FB_CLEAR.
