Change. (b). I'm not sure if we really need this one. I do not think
replacing cpu while suspended is supported operation.

Unrelated change, probably good one. (c).

The change you really wanted to do in the first place. (d).

You want bigger stack or what? (e)

More cleanups. (a).
Can we at least get (a) (b) (c) (d) and (e) separated?
Oh and please drop the whitespace changes.

I assume you have configuration for test now?

So you no longer need identity mapping? Is not it specified that when
you transition between modes, you should do that while in identity
mapping?

Check if cpu supports long mode... but we suspended when running long
mode, why checking again?

Why this change, why did you change the values in here, and why you
did not tell me about it in the changelog?
