    x86/svm: Remove the pdpe fields from struct vmcb
    
    These fields have existed since the SVM code was first introduced.
    
    The earliest reference I can find is c/s d1bd157fbc9 which is unforunately a
    rebase & squash of a separate dev tree.  Looking a the commit message, I'm
    guessing it was introduced by:

      > files:       ... xen/include/asm-x86/svm_vmcb.h ...
      > description:
      > Add SVM base files to repository.
    
    Anyway, the AMD SDM has no mention of PDPE fields in the VMCB and marks this
    part of the VMCB as reserved.  The manual does explicitly say that 32bit PAE
    paging may read the PDPE fields from memory rather from the CPU registers.
    
    Chances are very good that this is a vestigial remnent of an early design.
    Xen doesn't use the fields at all, except to copy them on virtual
    vmentry/vmexit.
