KVM has a 80-entry limit at KVM_SET_CPUID2. With the
introduction of CPUID[0x1F], it is now possible to hit this limit
with unusual CPU configurations, e.g.:
$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-smp 1,dies=2,maxcpus=2 \
-cpu EPYC,check=off,enforce=off \
-machine accel=kvm
qemu-system-x86_64: kvm_init_vcpu failed: Argument list too long
This happens because QEMU adds a lot of all-zeroes CPUID entries
for unused CPUID leaves. In the example above, we end up
creating 48 all-zeroes CPUID entries.
KVM already returns all-zeroes when emulating the CPUID
instruction if an entry is missing, so the all-zeroes entries are
redundant. Skip those entries. This reduces the CPUID table
size by half while keeping CPUID output unchanged.
