Explicitly zero the guest's CR3 and mark it available+dirty at RESET/INIT. Per Intel's SDM and AMD's APM, CR3 is zeroed at both RESET and INIT. For RESET, this is a nop as vcpu is zero-allocated. For INIT, the bug has likely escaped notice because no firmware/kernel puts its page tables root at PA=0, let alone relies on INIT to get the desired CR3 for such page tables.
