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 KVM LAM:

Patch 1 makes change to allow setting of CR3 LAM bits in vmlaunch tests.
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

Changelog
v6
- Fix a comment [Chao]
- Use write_cr4() instead of write_cr4_safe() to catch unexpected exceptions. [Chao]
- Use a non-canonical address that will be canonical if LAM applied as the
  tagged address in the descriptor of invvpid. [Chao]
- Add a reviewed-by from Chao in patch 4.

v5
