perfctr-core : core performance counter extensions support. Enables the VM to
               use extended performance counter support. It enables six
               programmable counters instead of four counters.
clzero       : instruction zeroes out the 64 byte cache line specified in RAX.
xsaveerptr   : XSAVE, XSAVE, FXSAVEOPT, XSAVEC, XSAVES always save error
               pointers and FXRSTOR, XRSTOR, XRSTORS always restore error
               pointers.
wbnoinvd     : Write back and do not invalidate cache
ibpb         : Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier
amd-stibp    : Single Thread Indirect Branch Predictor
clwb         : Cache Line Write Back and Retain
xsaves       : XSAVES, XRSTORS and IA32_XSS support
