[RESEND,v5,2/4] i386: publish advised value of MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL via fw_cfg

Commit Message

It's a prerequisite that certain bits of MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL should
be set before some features (e.g. VMX and LMCE) can be used, which is
usually done by the firmware. This patch adds a fw_cfg file
"etc/msr_feature_control" which contains the advised value of
MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL and can be used by guest firmware (e.g. SeaBIOS).

Changes in RESEND:
 * Use cpu_to_le64() to ensure file content is in little-endian.

Applied to x86-next. Thanks.
