Hmm, I think the check would be ok as-is if vcpu->arch.ia32_xss is used
below, as ia32_xss is guaranteed to be zero if XSAVES isn't supported.

Ya.

I thought KVM liked to let userspace blow off their foot whenever possible?
KVM already enumerated what features are supported, it's a userspace bug
if it ignores the enumeration.
