Until now CPU features inherited from a specified CPU model could only
be overridden with 'disable' policy. With this patch, any explicitly
specified feature always overrides the same feature inherited from a CPU
model regardless on the specified policy.
The CPU in x86-exact-force-Haswell.xml would previously be incompatible
with x86-host-SandyBridge.xml CPU even though x86-host-SandyBridge.xml
provides all features required by x86-exact-force-Haswell.xml.
