[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools/libxc: Reduce feature handling complexity in xc_cpuid_apply_policy()

[Andrew Cooper]

xc_cpuid_apply_policy() is gaining extra parameters to untangle CPUID
complexity in Xen.  While an improvement in general, it does have the
unfortunate side effect of duplicating some settings across muliple
parameters.

Rearrange the logic to only consider 'pae' if no explicit featureset is
provided.  This reduces the complexity for callers who have already provided a
pae setting in the featureset.
