Can you provide the full code in a branch/tag somewhere?  The CET patches
are in turn dependent on XSAVES enabling[*], and those don't apply cleanly
on the cpu-caps branch.

It might make sense to also rebase to kvm/queue?  Though that's not a
requirement by any means, e.g. don't bother if the CET patches are going to
be respun soon.
