Looks good, arrived at more or less the same end result when rebasing my
local branch to kvm/queue.  CPUID diff and smoke test on Icelake ran clean.

For supported_xss, would it make sense to handle it purely in common x86
code, e.g. stub in something similar to supported_xcr0?  KVM_SUPPORTED_XSS
would be 0 for now.  I assume whatever XSAVES features are supported will
be "supported" by both VMX and SVM, in the sense that VMX/SVM won't need
to mask off features that can exist on their respective hardware but can't
be exposed to the guest.
