Because otherwise the guest can see core_capability != 0 and will #GP
when trying to use split lock detection.

But you are right, this patch must be the last. Instead,
kvm-get_core_capability() should always return 0 until the previous
patch. Then in this patch you add the rdmsr and boot_cpu_has() tests.
