This may be related to the recent speculation/lfence fix that went in
a week or so ago. It reads an MSR that should be present on that CPU (and
if it isn't, we won't read it).

I have one of those same Opterons here, I'll update it to -current and see
if I can repro this on real hardware. My guess is that kvm is failing the
RDMSR because the knowledge of it post-dates the time that kvm was built.
