    ms/KVM: Add KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT to user space API header
    
    Currently, we don't have an exit reason to notify user space about
    a system-level event (for e.g. system reset or shutdown) triggered
    by the VCPU. This patch adds exit reason KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT for
    this purpose. We can also inform user space about the 'type' and
    architecture specific 'flags' of a system-level event using the
    kvm_run structure.
    
    This newly added KVM_EXIT_SYSTEM_EVENT will be used by KVM ARM/ARM64
    in-kernel PSCI v0.2 support to reset/shutdown VMs.
