Nothing in the shortlog or changelog actually states what this patch does.
"Test non-MBZ reserved bits in CR3 in long mode" is rather ambiguous, and
IIUC, the changelog is straight up misleading.

Based on the discussion from v1, I _think_ this test verifies that KVM does
_not_ fail nested VMRUN if non-MBZ bits are set, correct?

If so, then something like:

  KVM: nSVM: Verify non-MBZ CR3 reserved bits can be set in long mode

with further explanation in the changelog would be very helpful.
