Subject: [PATCH v3 00/14] Improvements for (nested) SVM testing

This is a combined v2/v3 of the patch series in [1] and [2], with a
couple of extra changes.

The series mostly includes fixups and cleanups, and more importantly new
tests for selective CR0  write intercepts and LBRV, which cover bugs
recently fixed by [3] and [4].

Patches 1-2 are unrelated fixups outside of SVM that I just included
here instead of submitting separately out of pure laziness.

Patches 3-8 are cleanups and refactoring.

Patch 9 deflakes svm_tsc_scale_test in a not-so-sophisticated way.

Patches 10-11 generalize the existing selective CR0 intercept tests and
extend them with new test cases.

Patches 12-13 cleanup the existing LBRV tests and extend them with new
test cases.

Patch 14 is a rename to some of VMCB fields to match recent renames in
KVM [5]. This is the last patch is in the series also due to laziness.

I realize that the patch ordering is a mess, and I can rebase and
reorder if it actually matters to anyone.
