Subject: uio_hv_generic: check that host supports monitor page
Git-commit: 06028d15177a1b406b7b075ea47c6a352732f23a
References: fate#323887

In order for userspace application to signal host, it needs the
host to support the monitor page property. Check for the flag
and fail if this is not supported.
