Why? Zero is the default value for ecx_in, I don't see a strong reason
for mentioning it explicitly. If we do this, we should set the value to
0x00 though.
There is a difference (at CPUID instruction level) between ignoring ECX
value (leaf 1 for example) and requiring it to be set to 0. Looks like
virCPUx86CPUID structure does not support this distinction though.
Anyway I think it's better to include it there, will change to 0x00.
