Subject: [PATCH v15 06/41] KVM: x86: Check XSS validity against guest CPUIDs

From: Chao Gao <chao.gao@...el.com>

Maintain per-guest valid XSS bits and check XSS validity against them
rather than against KVM capabilities. This is to prevent bits that are
supported by KVM but not supported for a guest from being set.

Opportunistically return KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED on IA32_XSS MSR accesses
if guest CPUID doesn't enumerate X86_FEATURE_XSAVES. Since
KVM_MSR_RET_UNSUPPORTED takes care of host_initiated cases, drop the
host_initiated check.
