[PATCH 7/7] virHostCPUGetCPUIDFilterVolatile: Filter out topology data on AMD
AMD cpus report Core (compute unit) identifiers of the cpu running the
instruction under leaf 0x8000001e. This data is not needed for libvirt
and actually breaks caching of the qemu capabilities where we check that
all of the CPU flags to be identical.
Mask out all of leaf 0x8000001e.
