is this necessary? __kvm_is_valid_cr4() ensures that guests cannot set any bit
which isn't supported by the hardware.

To account for hardware/KVM caps, I think the following changes will work. This
will fix all other bits besides X86_CR4_FRED.

This seems a generic infra improvement, maybe it's better for you to
send it as an individual patch to Sean and the KVM mailing list?
