Paolo, any thoughts on how to keep supported_xss aligned with support_xcr0,
without spreading the logic around too much?

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Refine the matching and clearing logic for supported_xss

"The existing clearing of supported_xss here is pointless".
Let's refine the code path in this way: initialize the supported_xss
with the filter of KVM_SUPPORTED_XSS mask and update its value in
a bit clear manner (rather than bit setting).

Before:
(1) kvm_arch_hardware_setup
    if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_XSAVES))
        rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_XSS, host_xss);
    if (!kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_XSAVES))
        supported_xss = 0;
    else supported_xss &= host_xss;
(2) vmx_set_cpu_caps
    supported_xss = 0;
    if (!cpu_has_vmx_xsaves())
        kvm_cpu_cap_clear(X86_FEATURE_XSAVES);
    else set available bits to supported_xss

After:
(1) kvm_arch_init
    if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_XSAVES))
        rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_XSS, host_xss);
        supported_xss = host_xss & KVM_SUPPORTED_XSS;
(2) vmx_set_cpu_caps
    if (!cpu_has_vmx_xsaves())
        kvm_cpu_cap_clear(X86_FEATURE_XSAVES);
        supported_xss = 0;
    else clear un-available bits for supported_xss
