xen: just completely disable XSAVE

Browse source 
Some (old) versions of Xen just kill the domain if it tries to set any
unknown bits in CR4, so we can't reliably probe for OSXSAVE in
CR4.

Since Xen doesn't support XSAVE for guests at the moment, and no such
support is being worked on, there's no downside in just unconditionally
masking XSAVE support.
