The last patch hardens SVM against one of the bugs introduced in the
FLUSH_L1D enabling.

I'll post KUT patches tomorrow. I have the tests written (and they found
bugs in my code, :shocked-pikachu:), just need to write the changelogs.
Wanted to get this out sooner than later as I'm guessing I'm not the only
one whose VMs won't boot on Intel CPUs...
Hi Sean,

did you post them?
No, I'll get that done today (I pinky swear this time).

Ok, you can also send me a pull request if you prefer (or I can apply the patches to kvm/next myself of course).
