The CPL check for XSETBV instruction is done by hardware on VMX.
It only needs by SVM.

I don't think this is performance-sensitive, hence it's simpler to keep
the code as simple as possible.  For example, if one added XSETBV
support to the emulator, your patch would introduce a bug.

In what case we need to decode XSETBV?
