The dirty_log_test is failing on some old machines like Xeon E3-1220
with tripple faults when writting to the tracked memory region:
Test iterations: 32, interval: 10 (ms)
Testing guest mode: PA-bits:52, VA-bits:48, 4K pages
guest physical test memory offset: 0x7fbffef000
==== Test Assertion Failure ====
dirty_log_test.c:138: false
pid=6137 tid=6139 - Success
1 0x0000000000401ca1: vcpu_worker at dirty_log_test.c:138
2 0x00007f3dd9e392dd: ?? ??:0
3 0x00007f3dd9b6a132: ?? ??:0
Invalid guest sync status: exit_reason=SHUTDOWN
It's because previously we moved the testing memory region from a
static place (1G) to the top of the system's physical address space,
meanwhile we stick to 39 bits PA for all the x86_64 machines. That's
not true for machines like Xeon E3-1220 where it only supports 36.
Let's unbreak this test by dynamically detect PA width from CPUID
0x80000008. Meanwhile, even allow kvm_get_supported_cpuid_index() to
fail. I don't know whether that could be useful because I think
0x80000008 should be there for all x86_64 hosts, but I also think it's
not really helpful to assert in the kvm_get_supported_cpuid_index().
