True, but on Intel the test won't test much since the instruction is not
emulated there.

It is also possible to enable the emulation on x86 on AMD as well,
there doesn't seem anything special and/or dangerous in the KVM emulator.

OK, I'll take a note.

I'll take a look, however since I wrote this test long ago and I am kind of short on time,
I prefer to merge it as is and then improve it as you suggested.
