Hi Eduardo,
    Let me clarify the issue. 
    The cpuid level is 0xd if create a VM(cpu model qemu64) w/o intel pt 
feature on Snowridge HW.
    CMD: qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu qemu64 ...             (Intel PT is disabled 
by default)
    The cpuid level will be extended to 0x14 if create a VM(cpu model qemu64) 
w/ intel pt feature on Snowridage.
    CMD: qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu qemu64,+intel-pt ...
    But the current software implementation will mask off intel pt if the host 
has LIP, and Snowridge support it. So cpuid level has been extended to 
0x14(x86_cpu_expand_features) and Intel PT is disabled 
later(x86_cpu_filter_features), and the guest CPUID will include some zero 
items like this.
   0x0000000e 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
   0x0000000f 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
   0x00000010 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
   0x00000011 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
   0x00000012 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
   0x00000013 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
   0x00000014 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000 
  (Intel PT feature)

x86_cpu_realizefn()
    |-> x86_cpu_expand_features()
    |      IF has Intel PT feature
    |          Then extended the cpuid level to 0x14;
    |-> x86_cpu_filter_features()
           IF has Intel PT feature & has LIP
               THEN mask off the guest Intel PT feature,
                         *but* the cpuid level still 0x14.

Expect result and how to:
Don't impact the cpuid level if Intel PT can't be supported in the guest. So 
this patch moves the intel PT capabilities check before extending the cpuid 
level.

Thanks,
Luwei Kang
