[PATCH 1/1] KVM: selftests: Adjust VM's initial stack address to align with SysV ABI spec

[Ackerley Tng]

Align stack to match calling sequence requirements in section "The
Stack Frame" of the System V ABI AMD64 Architecture Processor
Supplement, which requires the value (%rsp + 8) to be a multiple of 16
when control is transferred to the function entry point.

This is required because GCC is already aligned with the SysV ABI
spec, and compiles code resulting in (%rsp + 8) being a multiple of 16
when control is transferred to the function entry point.

This fixes guest crashes when compiled guest code contains certain SSE
instructions, because thes SSE instructions expect memory
references (including those on the stack) to be 16-byte-aligned.
