On CPUs that deprecated TSX, clearing the enumeration bits CPUID.RTM and

Why is a global option necessary to allow those guests to be
resumed? Why can't KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID always return the HLE
and RTM bits as supported when the host CPU has them?
Yes, the global option is unnecessary and this patch was dropped in v2.
