[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.7] xen/hvm: Fix advertisment of available xstates following c/s c52319642



PKU lives in CPUID.7[0].ECX, not EBX.  This causes hardware with BMI1 to
accidentally advertise PKU in CPUID.0xD[0].EAX.  Any OS which proceeds to
blindly write this into %xcr0 takes a #GP fault.  (Experimentally, Windows
Vista 32bit falls into this category.)

This is all going to be far less error prone when I have guest_has_$FEATURE(v)
helpers which read the bits out of a flat array...
