There are potential bugs and currently we don't have test step to
trigger it. Because for patch 1, KVM doesn't support arch-lbr
virtualization yet, which is the first user in QEMU of xss. Once KVM
merges the arch-lbr series, using "-cpu xxx,+arch-lbr,-xsave" can expose
arch-lbr to guest, which violates the architectural behavior of xfeatures.
For patch2, current code just happens to work correctly because there is
not xfeature in upper 32-bit get defined yet. But I think make the code
logically correct is important and we shouldn't depend on the
happened-to-work code.
