Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.3 28/68] KVM: x86: Expose XSAVEERPTR to the guest

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 504ce1954fba888936c9d13ccc1e3db9b8f613d5 ]

I was surprised to see that the guest reported `fxsave_leak' while the
host did not. After digging deeper I noticed that the bits are simply
masked out during enumeration.

The XSAVEERPTR feature is actually a bug fix on AMD which means the
kernel can disable a workaround.

Pass XSAVEERPTR to the guest if available on the host.
