Subject: [PATCH v11 06/23] KVM: x86: Report XSS as to-be-saved if there are supported features

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@...gle.com>

Add MSR_IA32_XSS to list of MSRs reported to userspace if supported_xss
is non-zero, i.e. KVM supports at least one XSS based feature.

Before enabling CET virtualization series, guest IA32_MSR_XSS is
guaranteed to be 0, i.e., XSAVES/XRSTORS is executed in non-root mode
with XSS == 0, which equals to the effect of XSAVE/XRSTOR.
