Bus Locks are very costly and a VM left unchecked spamming instructions that
lock the memory bus (e.g: unaligned atomic CAS) makes system perf take a
nosedive. This patch is similar to BLD of VMX, but for SVM. It configures all
VMRUNs so they automatically exit at the first encounter of a buslock event,
effectively rate-limiting them.
Cheers,
Alejandro
