Full support for the XIVE native exploitation mode is now available,
advertise the capability KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_XIVE for guests running on
PowerNV KVM Hypervisors only. Support for nested guests (pseries KVM
Hypervisor) is not yet available. XIVE should also have been activated
which is default setting on POWER9 systems running a recent Linux
kernel.
