    x86/xstate: Make errors in xstate calculations more obvious by crashing the 
domain
    
    If xcr0_max exceeds xfeature_mask, then something is broken with the CPUID
    policy derivation or auditing logic.  If hardware rejects new_bv, then
    something is broken with Xen's xstate logic.
    
    In both cases, crash the domain with an obvious error message, to help
    highlight the issues.
