This patch effectively allows the guest to set CR4, it should be the
last patch in the series to actually "enable" CET in the guest, i.e.
once KVM actually virtualizes CET.

This macro doesn't define CR4 bits, it defines which bits should be
treated as reserved when the guest writes CR4.

Again, these masks don't "define" the feature bits, rather they specify
which feature bits can be exposed to the guest.
