EAX should be KVM_CPUID_FEATURES (0x40000001) not 0.

This makes the CPUID bits to suddenly change, when live-migrating to a
newer QEMU version.

Strictly speaking, this is never supposed to happen, but... on both
cases the meaning of the bits are the same (0 is documented as
equivalent to KVM_CPUID_FEATURES) and probably the guest will look at
them only once on boot. Do we really want to add migration-compatibility
code for this?

My vote would be no; because this should be ok and the tests that I know of are all at boot time. I will look into adding migration-compatibility. I also do not have any direct need for this change, it just looked like the right thing to do.
