KVM: x86: Advertise support for AMD's PREFETCHI

Browse source 
The latest AMD platform has introduced a new instruction called PREFETCHI.
This instruction loads a cache line from a specified memory address into
the indicated data or instruction cache level, based on locality reference
hints.

Feature bit definition:
CPUID_Fn80000021_EAX [bit 20] - Indicates support for IC prefetch.

This feature is analogous to Intel's PREFETCHITI (CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EDX),
though the CPUID bit definitions differ between AMD and Intel.

Advertise support to userspace, as no additional enabling is necessary
(PREFETCHI can't be intercepted as there's no instruction specific behavior
that needs to be virtualize).

The feature is documented in Processor Programming Reference (PPR)
for AMD Family 1Ah Model 02h, Revision C1 (Link below).
