Looking at kvm_update_cpuid() I was thinking if it would make sense to
duplicate the "/* Note, maxphyaddr must be updated before tdp_level. */"
comment here (it seems to be a vmx-only thing btw), drop it from
kvm_update_cpuid() or move cpuid_query_maxphyaddr() to get_tdp_level()
but didn't come to a conclusive answer.
