Based on Weijiang's series, I believe this is unnecessary.  Common x86 code will
both set supported_xss, and clear bits if their associated features are unsupported.

I also asked Weijiang to modify the "advertise to userspace" patch to explicitly
clear SHSTK and IBT in svm_set_cpu_caps()[*], so if the stars align as I think they
will, this patch should simply need to delete the

	kvm_cpu_cap_clear(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK);

that will be added by the VMX series.
