So if the x86 folks would retract their objection and accept a new
cpufeature array element it would be nice, because KVM could just do

	cpuid_mask(&entry->edx, CPUID_7_0_EDX);

Otherwise, if you add a cpuid_count_edx function to processor.h then one
can do:

	entry_>edx &= cpuid_count_edx(7, 0);

which is decent too.

Thanks,
