This is a constant we write in hyperv_init() (0x810000040e000000 for
Linux guests). Do I get it right that we need this to basically
distinguigh Windows guests crashes from Linux guest crashes in the log?

We don't write ax and bx any more but write cx and dx. Not that I see
these regs really useful in the log but I'd change these to ax and bx
for consistency. Or mayme make it sp and ax?
