Commit Message

This patch is broken out just to simplify the following two.

For xc_cpuid_set(), document how the 'k' works because it is quite subtle.
Replace a memset() with weird calculation for a loop of 4 explicit NULL
assigments.  This mirrors the free()'s in the fail path.

For xc_cpuid_apply_policy(), const-ify the featureset pointer.  It isn't
written to, and was never intended to be mutable.

Drop three pieces of trailing whitespace.

No functional change.

Looking at the next patch (and hence more closely at the code below
here) - shouldn't the comment mention both 'k' and 's'?

Hmm.  The loop didn't contain any logic looking at == 'k' which is why I
started wondering, but I think you're right - the only use of 's' is for
the feedback to the caller, not for calculation purposes.

I'll adjust the comment suitably.
