This field has to be saved/restored for snapshots/migrations.

Frankly, I've no clue right now if substates are in vogue again (they
had problems in their binary format) or if you can simply add a
versioned top-level field and bump the CPUState version number.

Just to double check: This feature is exposed to the guest when A) the
host CPU supports it and B) QEMU passed down guest CPU specifications
(cpuid data) that allow it as well?
