Something like this:

	/*
	 * The SVM spec doesn't require the platform to track the 'G' bit for
	 * all segments.  Current processors track it for all segments except
	 * CS, but other hypervisors may not do so.  So let's synthesize this
	 * bit always to help running KVM nested.  It also helps cross-vendor
	 * migration, because Intel's vmentry has a check on the 'G' bit.
