This is wrong, xfeatures_mask_all also tracks supervisor states.

I think so?  But use xfeatures_mask_user().

In theory, host_xss can also be replaced with the _supervisor() and _dynamic()
variants.  That code needs a good hard look at the _dynamic() features, which is
currently just architectural LBRs.  E.g. I wouldn't be surprised if KVM currently
fails to save/restore arch LBRs due to the bit not being set in host_xss.
