Thanks Sean having me re-capture this reply thread, it's lost in my
folder.
I added kvm_x86_ops->xsaves_supported() in kvm_supported_xss() and it
returns 0 if xsaves is not supported which suggested by Jim.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly, kvm_xss is what KVM supports,
but arch.ia32_xss reflects what guest currently is using, shoudn't CPUID
report what KVM supports instead of current status?
Will CPUID match current IA32_XSS status if guest changes it runtime?
