Do we have a plan to add Skylake with XSAVES?  I think no, so it should
be fine to do

	.name = "Skylake",

	.features[FEATURE_XSAVE] = CPUID_XSAVE_XSAVEOPT |
		CPUID_XSAVE_XGETBV1 | CPUID_XSAVE_XSAVEC
		/* omitting CPUID_XSAVE_XSAVES because... */

Haswell-noTSX was added only because we already had a model with TSX.
If we hadn't we probably would have had:

- Haswell without TSX

- Broadwell without TSX

- Broadwell-EX with TSX (or something like that).

Thanks,

Paolo
