commit 316314cae15fb0e3869b76b468f59a0c83ac3d4e upstream.

This ensures that the guest doesn't see XSAVE extensions (e.g. xgetbv1 or xsavec) that the host lacks.

[4.5 does have CPUID_D_1_EAX, but earlier kernels don't, so use
the numeric value. This is consistent with other occurrences of cpuid_mask in arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c - Paolo]
