Ok. To avoid inconsistencies, this patch should be applied too:
(It's also a small fix for ECX, but that side isn't as important :)
---8<---
KVM: x86: sanitize CPUID 0xD.0:EBX,ECX

We reused host EBX and ECX, but KVM might not support all features;
emulated XSAVE size should be smaller.

EBX depends on unknown XCR0, so we default to ECX.

SDM CPUID (EAX = 0DH, ECX = 0):
EBX Bits 31-00: Maximum size (bytes, from the beginning of the
XSAVE/XRSTOR save area) required by enabled features in XCR0. May
be different than ECX if some features at the end of the XSAVE save
area are not enabled.

ECX Bit 31-00: Maximum size (bytes, from the beginning of the
XSAVE/XRSTOR save area) of the XSAVE/XRSTOR save area required by
all supported features in the processor, i.e all the valid bit
fields in XCR0.
