[PULL 02/24] i386: Document when features can be added to kvm_default_pr


From: Eduardo Habkost
Subject: [PULL 02/24] i386: Document when features can be added to kvm_default_props
Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2021 14:09:52 -0400

It's very easy to mistakenly extend kvm_default_props to include
features that require a kernel version that's too recent.  Add a
comment warning about that, pointing to the documentation file
where the minimum kernel version for KVM is documented.
