x86-64: refine the XSA-9 fix Our product management wasn't happy with the "solution" for XSA-9, and demanded that customer systems must continue to boot. Rather than having our and perhaps other distros carry non-trivial patches, allow for more fine grained control (panic on boot, deny guest creation, or merely warn) by means of a single line change.
