Now that KVM prevents setting host-reserved CR4 bits, drop the dedicated XSAVE check in guest_cpuid_has() in favor of open coding similar checks in the SVM/VMX XSAVES enabling flows. Note, checking boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_XSAVE) in the XSAVES flows is technically redundant with respect to the CR4 reserved bit checks, e.g. XSAVES #UDs if CR4.OSXSAVE=0 and arch.xsaves_enabled is consumed if and only if CR4.OXSAVE=1 in guest. Keep (add?) the explicit boot_cpu_has() checks to help document KVM's usage of arch.xsaves_enabled. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
