Albeit I'm pretty sure there are more missing than just this lone one.

And in particular, probably missing from libxl_cpuid.c, which I was
meaning to check when I've got a free moment.

As it's not just this one, but e.g. also the two movdir* ones,
I thought I'd not require the other side to also be changed,
the more that enqcmd also doesn't get exposed to guests at all
right now.

Will a ever domU see this flag? I just spotted the <29> when comparing 'xen-cpuid' output between recent Xen releases. It shows up just in the 'Known' section at this point.

For future platforms supporting Compute eXpress Link, PCIPassthrough
will be able to give various accelerators to VMs, and the ENQCMD{,S}
instructions is what the guest will use to talk to hardware.

As a set of functionality, think DPDK but with with userspace (or the
guest) able to submit work to hardware directly, through an interface
designed to be safe for this kind of thing.
