Tagged all for @stable, probably want to (retroactively?) get Xiaoyao's

Queued, though I'll note that I kinda disagree with the stable@ marking of
patch 1 (and therefore with the patch order) as it has no effect in
practice.

Hmm, that's not a given, is it?  E.g. the guest can configure XSS early on and
then expect the configured value to live across INIT-SIPI-SIPI.  I agree it's
highly unlikely for any guest to actually do that, but I don't like assuming all
guests will behave a certain way.

No, I meant in the sense that supported_xss is always zero right now, and therefore so is MSR_IA32_XSS.
