Please make it return if entry->eax < 3 here. There probably aren't any
*good* reasons why a leaf at 0x40000x03 would exist and belong to some
other entity (Hyper-V, etc.). Those other extra ranges of CPUID are
generally aligned at multiples of 0x100, not just the *next* available
leaf.

But I don't care. Unless eax on the main Xen leaf is 3 or more, the
leaf at N+3 isn't yours to reason about :)
