[libvirt] CLZERO support for AMD

[Ani Sinha]

Thanks. I have sent a patch based off the tip here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-December/msg00086.html

I also have a patch off libvirt-4.5 which I have tested on our HW. If needed, I can send that patch as well.

Hi :

I see a commit in qemu that adds support for CLZERO but in CPUIDs. :

commit e900135dcfb676a4019dc206395e02db5d1de0d6

i386: Add CPUID bit for CLZERO and XSAVEERPTR

The CPUID bits CLZERO and XSAVEERPTR are availble on AMD's ZEN platform
and could be passed to the guest.

Is there a corresponding change in libvirt adding this capability? Libvirt complains when I add it manually in the vm xml:

# virsh create newvm.xml
error: Failed to create domain from newvm.xml
error: unsupported configuration: unknown CPU feature: clzero

# grep clzero newvm.xml
<feature policy='require' name='clzero'/>

Should we add it?

Yes, if it is supported by QEMU to expose to a guest, then it should be
added to libvirt too.

Presumably only needs add an addition to src/cpu_maps/x86_features.xml

Regards,
Daniel
