Some tweaks are needed here:

- DR6/DR7/CR2/DEBUGCTL should not be needed, are they?  Same for PAT
since it's not modified by the tests and defaults to the "right" value
(0x0007040600070406ULL) rather than zero.

- HSAVE should be set to a different page for each vCPU

- The on_cpu to set EFER should be in setup_svm, rather than a separate
function

- The on_cpu to set cr0/cr3/cr4 should be in setup_vm.
