[PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Reset RFLAGS state following processor init/reset

[Wanpeng Li]

Reference SDM Volume 1 3.4.3:

Following initialization of the processor (either by asserting the 
RESET pin or the INIT pin), the state of the EFLAGS register is 
00000002H.

However, the eflags fixed bit is not set and other bits are also not 
cleared during the init/reset in kvm.

This patch reset eflags register to 00000002H following initialization 
of the processor.
