lguest: fix crash 'unhandled trap 13 at <native_read_msr_safe>'
Impact: fix lguest boot crash on modern Intel machines
The code in early_init_intel does:
if (c->x86 > 6 || (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model >= 0xd)) {
u64 misc_enable;
rdmsrl(MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE, misc_enable);
And that rdmsr faults (not allowed from non-0 PL). We can get around
this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid. 5 seems like a good
number.
Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!). We could just indicate
that we don't support MSRs, or implement lguest_rdmst.
