x86/levelling: Provide architectural OSXSAVE handling to masked native CPUID

Contrary to c/s b2507fe7 "x86/domctl: Update PV domain cpumasks when setting
cpuid policy", Intel CPUID masks are applied after fast forwarding hardware
state, rather than before.  (All behaviour in this regard appears completely
undocumented by both Intel and AMD).

Therefore, a set bit in the MSR causes hardware to be fast-forwarded, while a
clear bit forces the guests view to 0, even if Xen's CR4.OSXSAVE is actually
set.

This allows Xen to provide an architectural view of a guest kernels
CR4.OSXSAVE setting to any native CPUID instruction issused by guest kernel or
userspace, even when masking is used.

The masking value defaults to 1 (if the guest has XSAVE available) to cause
fast-forwarding to occur for the HVM and idle vcpus.

When setting the MSRs, a PV guest kernel's choice of OXSAVE is taken into
account, and clobbered from the MSR if not set.  This causes the
fast-forwarding of Xen's CR4 state not to happen.

As a side effect however, levelling potentially need updating on all PV CR4
changes.

x86/levelling: fix breakage on older Intel boxes from c/s 08e7738

cpufeat_mask() yields an unsigned integer constant.  As a result, taking its
complement causes zero extention rather than sign extention.

The result is that, when a guest OS has OXSAVE disabled, all features in 1d
are hidden from native CPUID.  Amongst other things, this causes the early
code in Linux to find no LAPIC, but for everything to appear fine later when
userspace is up and running.
