this patch makes qemu spit out the following warning, possibly because
it doesn't support all expected CPUID features for the various CPUs.

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c:614
	fpu__init_system_xstate+0x403/0x721

with associated traceback.

I understand that this is a qemu problem, but does the traceback really
add value ?
