This series stems from Lai's RFC patches to intercept LA57 and let the
guest own FSGSBASE[*].  Discussion and inspection revealed that KVM does
not handle the case where LA57 is supported in hardware but not exposed to
the guest.  This is actually true for all CR4 bits, but LA57 is currently
the only bit that can be reserved and also owned by the guest.  I have
a unit test for this that I'll post separately.

Intercepting LA57 was by far the easiest fix for the immedidate bug, and
is likely the right change in the long term as there's no justification
for letting the guest own LA57.

The middle three patches adjust VMX's CR4 guest/host mask to intercept
reserved bits.  This required reworking CPUID updates to also refresh said
mask at the correct time.

The last past is Lai's, which let's the guest own FSGSBASE.  This depends
on the reserved bit handling being in place.

Ran everything through unit tests, and ran the kernel's FSGSBASE selftests
in a VM.
