What Xen version is this patch against? We already hide MWAIT from HVM
guests as far as I am aware. See
tools/libxc/xc_cpuid_x86.c:xc_cpuid_hvm_policy(), and note that features are
*whitelisted* and also that MWAIT is *not* mentioned.
So I think your patch is not needed, and also inappropriate since we
implement CPUID filtering policy in libxc these days.
