Right, I think we should fix that in the guest and zero out the unused
registers. VMMCALL can come from userspace after all, and the #VC
handler does not look at the hypercall numbers.

Further, on the host side KVM will unconditionally read out all 4
registers too, which requires us to set them valid in the GHCB.
