i386: Omit all-zeroes entries from KVM CPUID table
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.
