Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: SVM: Add support for VMCB address check change

New AMD CPUs have a change that checks VMEXIT intercept on special SVM
instructions before checking their EAX against reserved memory region.
This change is indicated by CPUID_0x8000000A_EDX[28]. If it is 1, KVM
doesn't need to intercept and emulate #GP faults for such instructions
because #GP isn't supposed to be triggered.
