When I try to upgrade my guest windows 8 vm to window 8.1. I get the 
error of processor doesn't support CompareExchange128.  Haven not been 
able to find any information about this error.

I think that's because cmpxchg16b is not emulated yet:

static int em_cmpxchg8b(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt)
{
	u64 old = ctxt->dst.orig_val64;

	if (ctxt->dst.bytes == 16)
		return X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE;
...
