Modern AMD CPUs do not support segment limit checks in 64-bit mode
(i.e. EFER.LMSLE must be zero). Do not allow a guest to set EFER.LMSLE
on a CPU that requires the bit to be zero.
For backwards compatibility, allow EFER.LMSLE to be set on CPUs that
support segment limit checks in 64-bit mode, even though KVM's
implementation of the feature is incomplete (e.g. KVM's emulator does
not enforce segment limits in 64-bit mode).
