Intel manual 22.3.1.2 demands that the accessed bit (bit 0 in type field) must be set when on DS,ES,FS and GS when the selector is usable. This fixes cross vendor migration from AMD to Intel.
I am not sure what the real purpose of this check is, so I put this in the VMX path and not in the SVM one. If someone has an explanation which justifies a move, I am happy to do this.
