Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] KVM: SVM: Add support for SVM instruction 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, #VMEXIT
is triggered before #GP. KVM doesn't need to intercept and emulate #GP
faults as #GP is supposed to be triggered.
