(As good as reserved without XSAVES/IA32_XSS.)

(Yes. Well, EDX is 0 when the sub-leaf is invalid.)

ECX Bit 0 is set if the sub-leaf index, n, maps to a valid bit in the
IA32_XSS MSR and bit 0 is clear if n maps to a valid bit in XCR0.

ECX should be set to 0 instead, we definitely don't map to a valid bit
in IA32_XSS now.
(Having only one part of cpuid ready for it is weird ...)

(Unrelated, I have yet to understand how this flag translates
* If ECX contains an invalid sub-leaf index, EAX/EBX/ECX/EDX return 0.)

Forcing a change of the XSAVES implementation is a likely purpose of
this patch and it is correct after changing the ecx handling, so then,
