On processors supporting XSAVES and XRSTORS, Architectural LBR XSAVE
support is enumerated from CPUID.(EAX=0DH, ECX=1):ECX[bit 15].
The detailed sub-leaf for Arch LBR is enumerated in CPUID.(0DH, 0FH).

XSAVES provides a faster means than RDMSR for guest to read all LBRs.
When guest IA32_XSS[bit 15] is set, the Arch LBR state can be saved using
XSAVES and restored by XRSTORS with the appropriate RFBM.

No, this needs to be opt-in, not opt-out.  I.e. omit the flag from common CPUID
code and set it if and only if it's fully supported.  It's not out of the realm
of possibilities that AMD might want to support arch LBRs, at which point those
CPUs would explode.

Will modify this patch.
