lguest: restrict CPUID to avoid perf counter wrmsr
Avoid the following: [ 0.012093] WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:249 native_apic_write_dummy+0x2f/0x40() Rather than chase each new cpuid-detected feature, just lie about the highest valid CPUID so this code is never run. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
