The following are excerpts from some changes that I have been working on. Instead
of a boolean flag, this saves the compatible vendor in kvm_vcpu_arch and tries
to match it against X86_VENDOR_* values. The goal is to replace
guest_cpuid_is_{intel,amd_or_hygon}() with
guest_vendor_is_compatible(vcpu, X86_VENDOR_{INTEL,AMD}). Is this viable?
