OK, done that, thanks.
(after checking that KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
actually has the needed features itself, otherwise exit).

Perhaps it would be good if guest cpuid to
have a default values of KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID,
so that the user doesn't have to do the needless
calls to just copy host features to guest cpuid.
