xen: allow HVM save/restore from different cpus

The hardware CPUID-levelling features level the feature flags but
don't change the CPU family/model/stepping.  Relax the HVM restore
check on family/model/stepping to printk but not veto the load, so
that VMs can be migrated between machines that have been
CPUID-levelled.
