i386: hardcode supported eVMCS version to '1'
Currently, the only eVMCS version, supported by KVM (and described in TLFS) is '1'. When Enlightened VMCS feature is enabled, QEMU takes the supported eVMCS version range (from KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS enablement) and puts it to guest visible CPUIDs. When (and if) eVMCS ver.2 appears a problem on migration is expected: it doesn't seem to be possible to migrate from a host supporting eVMCS ver.2 to a host, which only support eVMCS ver.1. Hardcode eVMCS ver.1 as the result of 'hv-evmcs' enablement for now. Newer eVMCS versions will have to have their own enablement options (e.g. 'hv-evmcs=2').

===============
The enlightenment is nested specific, it targets Hyper-V on KVM guests. When
-enabled, it provides Enlightened VMCS feature to the guest. The feature
+enabled, it provides Enlightened VMCS version 1 feature to the guest. The feature
implements paravirtualized protocol between L0 (KVM) and L1 (Hyper-V)
hypervisors making L2 exits to the hypervisor faster. The feature is Intel-only.
Note: some virtualization features (e.g. Posted Interrupts) are disabled when
