Patch# 1 implements the following checks, from Intel SDM vol 3C, on
vmentry of nested guests:

   - In the selector field for each of CS, SS, DS, ES, FS, GS and TR, the
     RPL (bits 1:0) and the TI flag (bit 2) must be 0.
   - The selector fields for CS and TR cannot be 0000H.
   - The selector field for SS cannot be 0000H if the "host address-space
     size" VM-exit control is 0.
   - On processors that support Intel 64 architecture, the base-address
     fields for FS, GS and TR must contain canonical addresses.

Patch# 2 adds kvm-unit-tests for the above checks.
