Ah, sorry, not virt, virt is 0x4000_0000. Yeah, I remember now. It is
function 4 which AMD doesn't implement and I'm running this on AMD:

$ cpuid -1r
CPU:
   0x00000000 0x00: eax=0x0000000d ebx=0x68747541 ecx=0x444d4163 edx=0x69746e65
   0x00000001 0x00: eax=0x00800f82 ebx=0x0c100800 ecx=0x7ed8320b edx=0x178bfbff
   0x00000002 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000
   0x00000003 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000000 ecx=0x00000000 edx=0x00000000

<-- no function 4.

   0x00000005 0x00: eax=0x00000040 ebx=0x00000040 ecx=0x00000003 edx=0x00000011
   ...

That's why.  :-)

Btw, there are other funny ranges on Intel:

./cpuid -1r
CPU:
   0x20000000 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000001 ecx=0x00000001 edx=0x00000000

That one has 2 bits set.

   0x80860000 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000001 ecx=0x00000001 edx=0x00000000
   0xc0000000 0x00: eax=0x00000000 ebx=0x00000001 ecx=0x00000001 edx=0x00000000

And those too.

Fun.
