Paul pointed out the error messages when KVM fails to load are unhelpful in understanding exactly what went wrong if userspace probes the "wrong" module. Add a mandatory kvm_x86_ops field to track vendor module names, kvm_intel and kvm_amd, and use the name for relevant error message when KVM fails to load so that the user knows which module failed to load. Opportunistically tweak the "disabled by bios" error message to clarify that _support_ was disabled, not that the module itself was magically disabled by BIOS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
