Most callers in this series are conditional on either boot_cpu_has() or some
local variables. Can we convert them to kvm_cpu_cap_has() and incorporate them
within this function? i.e.,

	if (kvm_cpu_cap_has(x86_feature) && guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, x86_feature))


The benefits of doing so are
1. callers needn't repeat

	if (kvm_cpu_cap_has(x86_feature))
		kvm_governed_feature_check_and_set(x86_feature)

2. this fits the idea better that guests can use a governed feature only if host
   supports it _and_ QEMU exposes it to the guest.
