Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Fix mov to/from control register emulation,
	with r8-r15 as gpr

Use the standrd modrm decoder instead of special casing these instructions.
This fixes mov %rX, %crY with X >= 8 or Y >= 8.

The fix only applies to AMD SVM, as Intel vmx decodes the instruction for us.
It cures the FC5 installer crashing when loading the xor module.
