KVM: Fix PDPTR reloading on CR4 writes
The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change. Linux relies on this behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot. The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes to PSE and PGE. This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.
