The latest AMD AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual
adds a CPUID feature XSaveErPtr (CPUID_Fn80000008_EBX[2]).
If this feature is set, the FXSAVE, XSAVE, FXSAVEOPT, XSAVEC, XSAVES
/ FXRSTOR, XRSTOR, XRSTORS always save/restore error pointers,
thus making the X86_BUG_FXSAVE_LEAK workaround obsolete on such CPUs.
