Today, only subleaf 1 deals with XSS, but we could do just what you say 
and set it for any 0xD subleaf to be safe.

XCR0 is really only required for 0xD, I'm not sure why it is being setting 
all the time (unless similar to above, it becomes required for some other 
CPUID leaf in the future?)

Ideally, the guest should be checking if XSAVES is enabled, which requires 
checking CPUID leaf 0xD, subleaf 1. So a bit of a chicken and egg thing 
going on the very first time. And then the guest should read MSR_IA32_XSS 
to get the actual value. This MSR is virtualized, so the hypervisor needs 
to not intercept access in order for the guest to actually set/get a 
value. Today, KVM/SVM doesn't support that since XSS is used (mainly/only) 
for shadow stack and KVM shadow stack support is only getting looked at now.

So the guest support for XSS and ES/SNP guests needs to be thought out a 
bit more.

Thanks,
Tom
