Changes in v8:
* Address comments form Jan/Andrew:
* Add optimisation in set_msr_xss in patch1.
* Change from black listing feature to white listing in pv_cpuid in patch2.
* Add MSR_IA32_XSS save/restore support in patch2.
* Fix some code errors and coding style errors.

Changes in v7:
* Address comments form Jan/Andrew:
* Move macro XSTATE_FIXUP into patch3.
* Change lazy write to xss_msr in patch1.
* Drop inner set of brackets and stray cast in patch2.
* Move the condition and memcpy() wouldn't into the new called functions in patch2.

* For no XSS features are currently supported.For leaf 2...63,ecx remain zero at 
  the moment in patch4.

Changes in v6:
* Address comments from Jan.
* Rebase the code based on Andrew'patch "xen/x86: Record xsave features in c->x86_capabilities".
* Re-split the patch to avoid building errors. Move some func definitions from patch1 to patch2.
* Change func name load/save_xsave_states to compress/expand_xsave_states in patch2.  
* Add macro to handle redundancy in xrstor.
* Fix some code errors and coding style errors.
* Add some descriptions in commit message.

Changes in v5:
* Address comments from Andrew/Jan,mainly:
* Add lazy writes of the xss_msr.
* Add xsave_area check when save/restore guest.
* Add xsavec support.
* Use word 2 in xen/include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h.
* Fix some code errors.

Changes in v4:
* Address comments from Andrew, mainly:
* No xsaves suporting for pv guest.
* Using xstate_sizes instead of domain_cpuid in hvm_cupid in patch 3.
* Add support for format translation when perform pv guest migration in patch 2. 
* Fix some code errors.

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].
