Summary: kvm-34 returns cr0 with ET clear

Initial Comment:
Several builds ago kvm was fixed such that an FPU was properly reported to 
exist on boot.

Something in build 34 broke that fix, as booting a Solaris kernel once again 
fails because no FPU is detected at boot.

Indeed, by checking cr0 before execution of the kernel starts, its value is 
reported as 0x8004001, or:

  PG | AM | PE

Note that ET (bit 4) is erroneously clear.

This is on a Fedora 7 system running kernel 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 on an Opteron 
system.
