Subject: [PATCH v3 05/14] x86/svm: Add FEP helpers for SVM tests

Add helpers to check if FEP is enabled to use as supported() callbacks
in SVM tests for the emulator. Also add a macro that executes an
assembly instruction conditionally with FEP, which will make writing
SVM tests that run with and without FEP more convenient.
