Why not just use __cpuid_entry_get_reg? 

cpuid.reg comes from read/only 'reverse_cpuid' anyway, and in fact
it seems that all callers of __cpuid_entry_get_reg, take the reg value from
x86_feature_cpuid() which also takes it from 'reverse_cpuid'.

So if the compiler is smart enough to not complain in these cases, I don't see why this case
is different.


Also why not to initialize guest_caps = host_caps & userspace_cpuid?

If this was the default we won't need any guest_cpu_cap_restrict and such,
instead it will just work.

Special code will only be needed in few more complex cases, like forced exposed
of a feature to a guest due to a virtualization hole.

IMHO the original code was more readable, now I need to look up the 'guest_cpu_cap_change()'
to understand what is going on.

Let's not have this function, it's just not worth it IMHO.

The purpose of this function is also very hard to decipher.

If we initialize guest_caps = host_caps & guest_cpuid then we won't
need this function.

In theory this change does change behavior, now the X86_FEATURE_XSAVE will
be set iff the condition is true, but before it was set *if* the condition was true.

One of the main reasons I don't like governed features is this manual list.
I want to reach the point that one won't need to add anything manually, unless there
is a good reason to do so, and there are only a few exceptions when the guest cap is set,
while the host's isn't.
