Even thought today's x86 hardware uses paging and not segmentation for memory
management, it is still good to have some tests that can verify the sanity of
the segment register fields on vmentry of nested guests.
The test on SS Selector field is failing because the hardware (I am using
Intel Xeon Platinum 8167M 2.00GHz) doesn't raise any error even if the
prescribed bit pattern is not set and as a result vmentry succeeds.
