What happens to lazy fpu if we don't trap cr0 changes?

Perhaps it's worth disabling lazy fpu with npt.

It should be implicitly disabled with npt because accesses to cr3 are
not intercepted anymore. The svm_set_cr3 function is the only place
which disables fpu switching.

Okay. We may want to investigate enabling it later, but no hurry now.

On the other hand, we want to trap cr0 so the guest can't control the cache disable bits. Also cr4.pce and cr4.mce.
