x86/xsaves: Detect xsaves/xrstors feature
Detect the xsaveopt, xsavec, xgetbv, and xsaves features in processor extended state enumberation sub-leaf (eax=0x0d, ecx=1): Bit 00: XSAVEOPT is available Bit 01: Supports XSAVEC and the compacted form of XRSTOR if set Bit 02: Supports XGETBV with ECX = 1 if set Bit 03: Supports XSAVES/XRSTORS and IA32_XSS if set The above features are defined in the new word 10 in cpu features. The IA32_XSS MSR (index DA0H) contains a state-component bitmap that specifies the state components that software has enabled xsaves and xrstors to manage. If the bit corresponding to a state component is clear in XCR0 | IA32_XSS, xsaves and xrstors will not operate on that state component, regardless of the value of the instruction mask.
