Add dedicated helpers to emulate RESET (or at least, the parts of RESET
that KVM actually emulates) instead of having the relevant code scattered
throughout vcpu_create() and vcpu_reset().

Vitaly's innocuous suggestion to WARN on non-zero CR0 led to a wonderful
bit of git archaeology after, to my complete surprise, it fired on RESET
due to fx_init() setting CR0.ET (and XCR0.FP).

v2:
- Add patches to drop defunct fx_init() code.
- Add patch to zero CR3 at RESET/INIT.
- Add patch to mark all regs avail/dirty at creation, not at RESET/INIT.
- Add patch to WARN if CRs are non-zero at RESET. [Vitaly]
