Ack.  Yes, thank you.  It was "working" because EFER_SCE == 1, so
efer_mask was always 1, but this meant I was never propagating EFER_NX
....  I'll retest with '|' and get back to you.

I saw this bug on an Intel CPU that supported NX -- it was just
disabled in the BIOS.  I'll be speaking with some AMD folks later this
morning, so I'll ask whether the same thing is possible w/AMD SVM.
