You need to remove those definitions from libxl_internal.h.

In order to assert that we don't mess things up, I would also add a
x86_cpu_policies_are_compatible check here:

res = x86_cpu_policies_are_compatible(&a, &out, &e);
if ( res )
    fail("  Test '%s' created incompatible policy\n"
         "    got res %d { leaf %08x, subleaf %08x, msr %08x }\n",
         t->name, res, e.leaf, e.subleaf, e.msr);
res = x86_cpu_policies_are_compatible(&b, &out, &e);
if ( res )
    fail("  Test '%s' created incompatible policy\n"
         "    got res %d { leaf %08x, subleaf %08x, msr %08x }\n",
         t->name, res, e.leaf, e.subleaf, e.msr);

It might be nice to expand test_is_compatible_{success,failure} to
account for arch_caps being checked now.

Shouldn't this check also take into account that host might not have
RSBA set, but it's legit for a guest policy to have it?

if ( ~host->msr->arch_caps.raw & guest->msr->arch_caps.raw & ~POL_MASK )
    FAIL_MSR(MSR_ARCH_CAPABILITIES);

Maybe POL_MASK should be renamed and defined in a header so it's
widely available?

I think this should be in an #ifndef __XEN__ protected region?

There's no need to expose this to the hypervisor, as I would expect it
will never have to do compatible policy generation? (ie: it will
always be done by the toolstack?)

Right, my proposed patch (07/13) went a bit further and also leveled
1c, 1d, Da1, e1c, e1d, e7d, e8b and e21a, and we also need to level
a couple of max_leaf fields.

I'm happy for this to go in first, and I can rebase the extra logic I
have on top of this one.

Thanks, Roger.
