My version of the manual says "any MBZ [must-be-zero] bit of EFER is 
set", so that would be 7:1 (not 7:5), 9 and 63:16.  In QEMU bits 13 and 
15 are also unimplemented and thus must-be-zero.

This has the same issue with 32-bit compilation, except in this case the 
check *is* needed on 32-bit builds just without bits 63:32 set.

The obvious way here would be to add a #ifdef, but that's less 
maintainable than the slightly ugly:

#define MSR_EFER_RESERVED               ((target_ulong)(int)0xffff02e0u)

(where I was too lazy to compute the right mask for the bits I listed 
above...).
