i386: Hyper-V Support extended GVA ranges for TLB flush hypercalls
KVM kind of supported "extended GVA ranges" (up to 4095 additional GFNs
per hypercall) since the implementation of Hyper-V PV TLB flush feature
(Linux-4.18) as regardless of the request, full TLB flush was always
performed. "Extended GVA ranges for TLB flush hypercalls" feature bit
wasn't exposed then. Now, as KVM gains support for fine-grained TLB
flush handling, exposing this feature starts making sense.
