This looks fine to me, although I do wonder if we should just allow
userspace to write whatever value it wants to the 32-bit ID registers
and be done with it.
Nowhere do we use a 32-bit ID register value as a condition for trap
configuration / emulation, so even if the VMM lies to the guest it
shouldn't trip up KVM.
Thanks,
Oliver
