Mask X86_FEATURE_XSAVE in cpuid leaf 1, ecx, as we don't allow guests to
use it (by setting cr4.OSXSAVE).
This prevents crashes in pvops dom0 kernels, as new
versions of Linux try
to use this feature.
(This patch deals with dom0 cpuid; I'm not sure where the right place to
set up the default mask for domU is.)
