from cpuid.c:

    /* cpuid 1.ecx */
    const u32 kvm_supported_word4_x86_features =
        F(XMM3) | F(PCLMULQDQ) | 0 /* DTES64, MONITOR */ |

so either the masking later on is subtly wrong, or kvm tool doesn't pass
it on correctly, or Linux ignores it.

Please run the attached program on the host and post its output.
