[kvm-unit-tests PATCH 01/14] x86/cstart: Don't use MSR_GS_BASE in 32-bit boot code

Load the per-cpu GS.base for 32-bit build by building a temporary GDT
and loading a "real" segment. Using MSR_GS_BASE is wrong and broken,
it's a 64-bit only MSR and does not exist on 32-bit CPUs. The current
code works only because 32-bit KVM VMX incorrectly disables interception
of MSR_GS_BASE, and no one runs KVM on an actual 32-bit physical CPU,
i.e. the MSR exists in hardware and so everything "works".

32-bit KVM SVM is not buggy and correctly injects #GP on the WRMSR, i.e.
the tests have never worked on 32-bit SVM.

Fixes: dfe6cb6 ("Add 32 bit smp initialization code")
