[PATCH] KVM: fix calculation of initial value of rdx register

[Avi Kivity]

On bootup, the rdx register contains information about the processor.  The
function which calculates this value has the bugs:

 - missing 'cpuid' to get the value from the processor
 - missing register clobber caused a miscompilation in some circumstances
 - we shouldn't return a value that depends on the current processor in 
   case we migrate

In any case nobody looks at the value, so just return a generic P6
identifier.

Thanks to Christian Hesse <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx> for debugging help.
