Hi Peter,

yes, indeed. this is a bug, it should be uint64_t[0] and uint64_t[1]
instead of features[0] and features[1]. Ironically I spend some time
debugging this very bug today, albeit _before_ reading this email.

it's causing some breakage for migrating guest with CET support (or any
feature that is part of the second bank of processor features, I guess).

thanks!
