[PATCH V3 0/6] add xsaves/xrstors support

[Shuai Ruan <shuai.ruan@linux.intel.com>]

Changes in v3:
* Address comments from Jan/Konrad
* Change the bits of eax/ebx/ecx/edx passed to guest in patch 4.
* Add code to verify whether host supports xsaves or not in patch 1.

Changes in v2:
* Address comments from Andrew/chao/Jan, mainly:
* Add details information of xsaves/xrstors feature.
* Test migration between xsaves-support machine and none-xsaves-support machine 
* Remove XGETBV1/XSAVEC/XSAVEOPT out of 'else' in patch 3.
* Change macro name XGETBV to XGETBV1 in patch 4.

This patchset enable xsaves/xrstors feature which will be available on 
Intel Skylake and later platform. Like xsave/xrstor, xsaves/xrstors 
feature will save and load processor state from a region of memory called 
XSAVE area. While unlike xsave/xrstor, xsaves/xrstors:

a) use the compacted format only for the extended region 
   of the XSAVE area which saves memory for you;
b) can operate on supervisor state components so the feature
   is prerequisite to support new supervisor state components;
c) execute only if CPL=0. 

Detail hardware spec can be found in chapter 13 (section 13.11 13.12) of the 
Intel SDM [1].
