Intel Linear-address masking (LAM) [1], modifies the checking that is applied to
*64-bit* linear addresses, allowing software to use of the untranslated address
bits for metadata.

The patch series add test cases for LAM:

Patch 1 makes change to HOST_CR3 tests in vmx.
If LAM is supported, VM entry allows CR3.LAM_U48 (bit 62) and CR3.LAM_U57
(bit 61) to be set in CR3 field. Change the test result expectations when
setting CR3.LAM_U48 or CR3.LAM_U57 on vmlaunch tests when LAM is supported.

Patch 2~4 add test cases for LAM supervisor mode and user mode, including:
- For supervisor mode
  CR4.LAM_SUP toggle
  Memory/MMIO access with tagged pointer
  INVLPG
  INVPCID
  INVVPID (also used to cover VMX instruction vmexit path)
- For user mode
  CR3 LAM bits toggle 
  Memory/MMIO access with tagged pointer
