This wouln't work correctly on 64bit longmode guest
running an app in 32bit compat.
(Even on AMD in some special conditions.)
The reason is, in 64Bit compat the MSR_EFER_SCE is still
enabled but syscall is not always available by cpu in such modes.
(I also compared always with a physical computer's behaviour.)
See Intel or even AMD-doku
(http://support.amd.com/us/Processor_TechDocs/APM_V3_24594.pdf) page 376.

Of course in 64bit it should NOT crash (and indeed I haven't
observed it, yet) but if I have cpuid GenuineIntel it should behave
like Intel cpu and not like some special AMD.
(Otherwise I could overwrite the vendor and then the patch will
emulate AMD...)

??What could be a good speedup: Reordering the EFER check and the
real-mode checks
(I would have to check doku, but EFER is 0 in realmode, isn't it?), then
checking if (not)longmode and then:

I think, the patch ->only<- (and only!?) becomes a little bit slower
exactly
in this situation (32bit compat under 64bit long) because in every other
case?
the first ifs (testing the MSR_EFER and the mode) should decide to #UD...
(At all it should be faster at the end, then it is now ?)

...I'll prepare a patch for what I mean...

I am looking forward to your response,

regards Stephan
