At a glance, shouldn't leaf 0x1f be marked significant in do_host_cpuid()?

This should be a standalone bugfix/enhancement path.  Bugfix because it
eliminates a false positive on *nent >= maxnent.

If I'm reading the code correctly, this is fragile and subtle.  The order
of cpuid entries is controlled by userspace, which means that clearing
KVM_CPUID_FLAG_SIGNIFCANT_INDEX depends on this entry being kept after all
other entries for this function.  In practice I'm guessing userspaces
naturally sort entries with the same function by ascending index, but it
seems like avoidable issue.

Also, won't matching the last entry generate the wrong values for EAX, EBX
and ECX, i.e. the valid values for the last index instead of zeroes?

> +			entry[i - 1].flags |= KVM_CPUID_FLAG_CL_IS_PASSTHROUGH;

Lastly, do we actually need to enumerate this silliness to userspace?
What if we handle this as a one-off case in CPUID emulation and avoid the
ABI breakage that way?  E.g.:
