How does a PV guest know whether Xsave support is available?  Previous
versions of Xen left the xsave cpu feature flag set even though xsave
wasn't usable by the domain, so I had to forceably mask it from the
cpuid features within the domain.  Given that a PV domain can't rely on
X86_FEATURE_XSAVE, how can it tell that the feature is actually usable?

Thanks,
