SRU Justification
=================
[Impact]
AMD CPUs now support XSAVES in a limited fashion (they require IA32_XSS
to be zero).
AMD has no equivalent of Intel's "Enable XSAVES/XRSTORS" VM-execution
control. Instead, XSAVES is always available to the guest when supported
on the host.
[Regression Potential]
Very low chance of regression; previous code returned false for all CPUs
while change should only return true when the CPU reports support for
the XSAVES feature.
[Miscellaneous]
Commit 52297436199d is the last remaining patch necessary to add support
for the EPYC-v3 and EPYC-Rome CPU model to Focal.
