This hunk won't apply since about a week ago. Please, use current git
when sending patches.

And keep the list of features sorted by CPUID level, i.e., these
features should go after 0x0d and before 0x80000000.
Oh and I completely forgot the most important thing: it makes little
sense to add CPUID features that QEMU does not support. It will only
allow users to see the features in host CPU capabilities. So if the
purpose of these patches is to be able to advertise whether the
appropriate perf events are supported on current host, CPU features are
not the right way of doing that. I think domain capabilities XML would
be the right place to advertise what events are supported.
