Subject: [PATCH] i386: Allow cpuid bit override

KVM has a feature bitmap of CPUID bits that it knows works for guests.
QEMU removes bits that are not part of that bitmap automatically on VM
start.

However, some times we just don't list features in that list because
they don't make sense for normal scenarios, but may be useful in specific,
targeted workloads.

For that purpose, add a new =force option to all CPUID feature flags in
the CPU property. With that we can override the accel filtering and give
users full control over the CPUID feature bits exposed into guests.
