The halt poll control MSR should only be enabled on hosts which
support it.

Fixes: ("kvm: i386: halt poll control MSR support")

This is already done by the "if (cpu->max_features)" block (and should
not be done if !cpu->max_features, or you break migration to older hosts).

This will cause the migration subsection to be sent always on old hosts,
thus breaking migration to older QEMU.  I think leaving in the "/*
enabled by default */" hunk is fine, because indeed on hosts that lack
the MSR you have the same behavior as if it were 1.

So all in all only the first hunk is needed.
