It occurs to me that XEN_SYSCTL_get_cpu_featureset is strictly a subset
of XEN_SYSCTL_get_cpu_policy, and that now I've adjusted the toolstack
onto get_cpu_policy, the sole remaining user is xen-cpuid.

get_cpu_policy already has separate default and max indices, whereas
get_cpu_featureset was written before the need for this has become obvious.

This leads to an asymmetry in xen-cpuid, where the -p (policy) option
provides two more sets of information than the featureset listing.

Instead, I think I'd like to drop XEN_SYSCTL_get_cpu_featureset and
update the sole user to the more complete interface.

Thoughts?
