Why?

I suggest the following change:
- rsvd = rsvd_bits(maxphyaddr, 62);
+ rsvd = rsvd_bits(maxphyaddr, 63);
+ if (ctxt->ops->get_cr(ctxt, 4) & X86_CR4_PCIDE)
+     rsvd &= ~CR3_PCID_INVD;

In this case, if PCIDE=0 then bit 63 is set in rsvd and therefore check_cr_write() will emulate_gp() as needed.
