Presented here is v1 of my work to improve cpuid levelling for guests.  This
series is very close to what is now present in XenServer trunk, and testing is
going well.

This series is available in git form at:
  http://xenbits.xen.org/git-http/people/andrewcoop/xen.git levelling-v1

This entire series is RFC because it is based on Xen 4.6 (plus some backports
of already-accepted content) rather than staging.  I will rebase onto staging
for v2.

The current cpuid code, both in the hypervisor and toolstack, has grown
organically for a very long time, and is flawed in many ways.  This series
focuses specifically on the fixing the bits pertaining to the visible
features, and I will be fixing other areas in future work (e.g. per-core,
per-package values, auditing of incoming migration values, etc.)

These changes alter the workflow of cpuid handling as follows:

Xen boots and evaluates its current capabilities.  It uses this information to
calculate the maximum featuresets it can provide to guests, and provides this
information for toolstack consumption.  A toolstack may then calculate a safe
set of features (taking into account migratability), and sets a guests cpuid
policy.  Xen then takes care of context switching the levelling state.

In particular, this means that PV guests may have different levels while
running on the same host, an option which was not previously generally
available.
