x86-64: workaround for BIOSes wrongly enabling LAHF_LM feature indicator
This workaround is taken from Linux, and the main motivation (besides
such workarounds indeed belonging in the hypervisor rather than each
kernel) is to suppress the warnings in the Xen log each Linux guest
would cause due to the disallowed wrmsr.
