This patchset comes from a bug I found during qemu guest migration from a
host with newer CPU to a host with an older version of this CPU, and thus
having less FPU features.
When the guests were created, the one with less features is used as
config, so migration is possible.
Patch 1 fix a bug that always happens during this migration, and is
related to the fact that xsave saves all feature flags, but xrstor does
not touch the PKRU flag.
Patch 2 comes from a concearn I have of the same bug as above hapenning
through different means, such as a future bug in qemu, and rendering
a lot of VMs unmigratable. Also, I think it makes sense to limit the
fatures to what the vcpu supports, as if it were baremetal it would crash.
Please let me know of anything to improve!
Best regards,
Leo
