Bits that are set in fixed0 must be set in fixed1 too. Since patch 4
always sets CR0_FIXED1 to all-ones (matching bare metal), this is okay.

Same here, we never check them anyway.

This should not be a problem, a failed vmentry is reflected into L1
anyway. We only need to check insofar as we could have a more restrictive
check than what the processor does.
