Hi Ian,

These patches were for sync-ing up with Linux upstream kernel. They don't add new features to Xen or expose any new feature to guest VMs. If you insist, we can include them after 4.1 release.

Best,
-Wei

Update AMD CPU feature flags 0x80000001:ECX for Xen tools

This patch syncs-up AMD CPU feature flags 0x80000001:ECX in libxc with
the latest Linux kernel.
What is the purpose of making these lists identical ?

Firstly, I disapprove of churn in the names of features.
Secondly, we are in feature freeze ...

Ian.
